Instructions
Step 1 – Combine Vegetables and Seasonings
In a large bowl, add the cucumber chunks.
Add garlic, mint leaves, and red pepper flakes.
Toss everything together to distribute evenly.
Tip: For extra texture, try stripe-peeling the cucumbers (peel strips with a vegetable peeler, leaving some skin).
Step 2 – Add Vinegar
Pour the seasoned rice wine vinegar over the mixture.
Toss again to coat all pieces thoroughly.
Step 3 – Chill
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Tip: You can also transfer the salad to a large plastic storage bag for marinating.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled as a refreshing side for grilled meats or sandwiches.
Use as a topping on burgers for a sweet, zesty crunch.
Enjoy as a light snack straight from the fridge.
