Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumber: Look for firm, unwaxed cucumbers with smooth, dark green skin. Avoid cucumbers with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Slice the cucumber thinly: This will help the cucumber absorb the dressing more easily.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you make clean, even slices.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
  • Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad as a side dish or as a light lunch or dinner: It's also a great way to add some extra vegetables to your diet.

Conclusion:

Indonesian cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a hot summer day. It's also a great way to use up extra cucumbers from your garden. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and healthy salad that the whole family will enjoy.
