A refreshing salad with a hint of tang! This Asian cucumber salad is great for get-togethers, work potlucks, or as a small salad with lunch or dinner.
Now, this recipe only makes one serving, but cooking for two? Just double the ingredients! I used a gluten-free soy sauce for the dressing, but alternatively, you could use coconut aminos. You could also add in some extra ingredients, like avocado and onions but be careful because that will bring the carb count higher!
