Ingredients
  • 4 small Lebanese cucumbers
  • 2 small tomatoes
  • 1/5 diced small Spanish red onion
  • 1 small clove garlic, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Chilli oil
  • Sesame oil
  • Rice wine vinegar
Instructions

Peel cucumbers and chop off ends. With the flat side of a cleaver, smash them on a chopping board so they split lengthwise.

Cut the smashed cucumbers into medium slices.

Put them into a bowl and add one teaspoon salt.

Mix to combine and then cover and leave for half an hour.

After 30 minutes, a few teaspoons of water will have drained from the cucumbers into the bowl.

Drain the cucumbers and rinse with water to remove some of the salt.

Drain cucumbers again and place back into a serving bowl.

Add diced onion, diced tomato and diced garlic.

Dress with a few shakes of chilli oil and sesame oil and 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar. Taste then add more of whatever you fancy until it tastes the way you want it to.

Me? I like it hot, hot, hot!
