Directions

Prep 20 min

1
Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, cut the cucumbers and carrots into long noodles, or thinly slice them with a knife.
2
Place the spiralized cucumber in a strainer, toss with salt, and let it drain for 15-20 minutes to remove excess water.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.
4
After draining, spread the cucumber onto paper towels and gently pat dry. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with 2-3 tbsp of the dressing.
5
Garnish with additional sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
6
Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Drain any excess liquid before eating.
