This Harissa Cucumber Onion Salad is a unique salad that unites the flavors of East Asia with those of North Africa. This salad is crisp, cooling, spicy, tangy, and bursting with bold flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 Large cucumber (approximately 1.5 cups chopped)
- 1/2 Red onion (approximately 1/4 cup sliced)
- 1 tsp Grated ginger
- 3 tbsp. Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp. Soy sauce
- 1 tsp. Fiery harissa
- 1 tsp. Chili flakes
- 1 tbsp. Monkfruit sweeter
- 2 tbsp. Olive oil
- 1 tsp Black sesame seeds
- 1 tsp (OPTIONAL) Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Slice your cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons. If you’re using a standard garden cucumber, feel free to peel it in "stripes" for a pretty look. Slice your red onion as thinly as possible. Add these to a bowl.
- Peel the ginger, then grate it (using a microplane grater) into a mason jar. Add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, harissa, chili flakes, sweetener, and oil to the jar too and stir well.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions.
- Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
- Garnish with black sesame seeds and parsley (optional). Let this marinate for at least 5 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Serve chilled or at room
