Discover an incredibly simple and refreshing fresh cucumber salad that's ready in just 10 minutes! You can slice the vegetables in any way you prefer: julienned, in rounds, slices, or diced. Using a Korean carrot grater creates a particularly striking presentation. The main secret to this salad is its unique dressing: finely chopped chili pepper and garlic, mixed with aromatic olive oil and balsamic vinegar. If you enjoy more heat, leave the seeds in the chili pepper to give the dish an extra kick.

Prepare all the ingredients: thoroughly wash the cucumbers, chili peppers, and green onions. Carefully remove the stem and seeds from the peppers. Peel the garlic. Get ready a grater for Korean carrots and a deep salad bowl to begin creating culinary magic.

Slice the fresh cucumbers into elegant julienne strips. Transfer the sliced cucumbers to a prepared salad bowl, forming the base for your upcoming masterpiece.

Finely chop the chili and garlic to release their aroma and pungency, which will add a spicy kick to your salad.

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped chili pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful and rich dressing.

Pour the prepared dressing over the sliced cucumbers. Gently mix to ensure every cucumber piece is coated with the delicious flavor.

Finely chop the fresh green onions. Sprinkle them over the salad, adding bright notes of freshness and aroma.

Before serving, to make an unforgettable impression, sprinkle the "Cucumber" salad with sesame seeds and dry adjika. This will give the dish an exquisite look and an additional flavor accent.
