Instructions
Salad
Trim the ends of the cucumber and spiralize the cucumbers or use a julienne peeler. Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander and toss them with the 1 teaspoon of salt. Let the cucumbers sit in the colander in the sink for at least minutes.
While the cucumber is draining, spiralize or peel the carrots and chop the sweet peppers. Prepare dressing by mixing ingredients and set aside.
Once the cucumber has drained for 15 minutes, spread them out on a layer of paper towels and gently pat out as much moisture as you can.
Place the cucumber noodles, carrots, and pepper in mixing bowl large enough to hold the salad.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to combine, coating the salad. Top with the sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
