Tips & Tricks (5)

Cucumber Precision 🥒
Use a sharp mandoline or very sharp knife to slice Persian cucumbers uniformly thin, ensuring each bite has the perfect crisp texture and maximum dressing absorption.
Avocado Timing Trick 🥑
Dice avocados at the very last moment to prevent browning, and add them gently to prevent bruising and maintain their creamy integrity.
Sesame Oil Intensity 🫙
Always use toasted sesame oil sparingly - a little goes a long way, as its flavor is extremely potent and can easily overpower the delicate cucumber and avocado.
Red Onion Softening 🧅
Quick-pickle the red onion slices in lime juice for 5 minutes before adding to the salad to reduce sharp bite and enhance overall flavor balance.
Dressing Emulsion Secret 🥄
Whisk the dressing ingredients vigorously to create a stable emulsion, which ensures each bite of the salad is perfectly seasoned and coated.
