Cucumber salad with sesame seeds and chili

 

Peel a long cucumber into thin strips. It is better to cut out the part with seeds, it will give a lot of juice. Add a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce to the cucumber and “soak” the cucumber in soy with your hands on all sides - make a lump of chopped cucumber and twirl it, lowering it into the sauce. Squeeze lightly and pour off excess. Add toasted sesame seeds and some crushed chili (if you like it spicy).

Cucumber salad with Greek yogurt

 

Cut a few cucumbers and a red onion into thin half rings. Finely chop the dill. Mix the ingredients in a bowl and top with Greek yogurt. The perfect refreshing salad for grilled meats!

Another simple cucumber and onion salad. Cut a few cucumbers and red onions into thin rings and place on a flat plate. Finely chop mint or other herbs. Salt and pepper to taste. Fill with vegetable oil.
