Cucumbers with Wasabi and Rice Vinegar

This vibrant vegan side dish offers a refreshing take on a traditional Japanese sunomono salad. The crisp texture of the thinly sliced cucumbers provides the perfect canvas for the sharp, tangy notes of rice vinegar and the distinct heat of wasabi. By salting and squeezing the cucumbers before dressing them, you ensure a satisfying crunch that holds up beautifully against the punchy flavours of the marinade.

Ideal for serving alongside grilled tofu, steamed rice, or as part of a larger Asian-inspired spread, this healthy salad is both light and revitalising. It is a fantastic choice for those looking for a quick, homemade pickle that requires minimal preparation. The balance of sweet, salt, and spice makes it a versatile accompaniment that cleanses the palate and adds a bright pop of flavour to any meal.
