Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 When blanching the cucumbers, be sure to turn off the heat and keep the time under 5 seconds, then immediately remove and ice-bath them to maintain their vibrant green color and crisp texture.
✨ The homemade sesame dressing is enhanced with fresh lemon juice, providing a natural tang that cuts through richness and adds a refreshing finish.
⚠️ Seasoning the ingredients with a little salt helps enhance the flavor and draws out excess water, ensuring the dressing adheres better later.
