How to Make Chamorro Cucumber Slices

  1. Peel cucumbers, leaving narrow strips of skin for color and visual appeal.
  2. Slice cucumbers into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. In a large zip-top bag, combine 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water.
  4. Add the sliced cucumbers to the bag.
  5. Seal the bag tightly, pressing out excess air.
  6. Gently toss the bag to ensure the cucumbers are evenly coated with the marinade.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  8. Serve chilled in a bowl. Garnish with extra pepper and/or a sprinkle of sesame seeds (optional).
