Directions

Slice cucumbers thinly and place in a bowl.
Sprinkle salt over cucumbers and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess water.
Gently squeeze or drain the cucumbers to remove liquid.
Pour the KA-ME Chili-Ponzu Sauce over cucumbers and toss gently.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving to absorb flavors.
Top with green onion and sesame seeds and serve.

Recipe Note

Japanese or Persian cucumbers work best because they have fewer seeds.
Serve chilled for a more refreshing flavor.
Add thinly sliced radish or carrot for extra texture.
Easy Pairing Option: Serve alongside store-bought sushi, dumplings, or grilled meats, or use KA-ME Chili Ponzu as a quick dipping sauce for a light, no-prep side.
