This Man's Cook Seaweed and Cucumber Salad

A refreshing summer side dish made by adding lightly blanched seaweed for enhanced flavor and texture, then marinating cucumbers and onions in salt to remove moisture completely, resulting in a crisp, dry salad that stays fresh even after time.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not rinse the salted cucumber and onion with water—use clean flower salt or sea salt for best results.
  • Do not over-blanch the seaweed; more than 10 seconds will make it mushy. Blanch quickly and immediately cool in cold water.
  • Squeeze out as much moisture as possible to prevent the dressing from becoming too diluted when mixed.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a refreshing, tangy side dish to stimulate appetite in summer.
  • People who have failed at cucumber salad due to excessive wateriness.
  • Those who enjoy the refreshing combination of seaweed and cucumber.
