Ingredients
- Cucumber
- 1 Tsp Garlic minced
- 1 Tsp Ginger grated
- 1 Tsp Wasabi (or to taste)
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- Sesame Seeds toasted
- Peanuts toasted
- 1 Tsp Agave Nectar

Notes
- Adjust Spice Level: You can dial up the heat by adding more wasabi paste or even some chili flakes if you prefer extra spice.
- Cucumber Variety: English cucumbers are recommended for their mild flavor and fewer seeds, but Persian cucumbers work well too for added crunch.
- Make-Ahead: Prep the dressing ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Combine with cucumbers just before serving to keep them crisp.
- Storage: The salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day. The cucumbers may soften slightly over time.
