How to Make Cucumbers With Lime Chile Dressing

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of small Kirby cucumbers. If using larger cucumbers, peel them if desired. Slice thinly into half-moons or rounds.
  2. Thinly slice 2 green onions and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently combine the sliced cucumbers and green onions.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chili sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or more, to taste).
  5. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and green onions. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Garnish with extra green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
