How to Make Fresh Cucumber Sesame Pickle
- Peel the cucumber and thinly slice it using a mandoline or sharp knife for consistent thickness.
- Thinly slice the red onion.
- Finely chop the mint leaves.
- Mince the garlic.
- Grate the fresh ginger.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the cucumber, red onion, mint, garlic, and ginger.
- Add the salt, lemon juice, sugar, and sesame seeds. Toss gently to combine.
- Drizzle with sesame oil (optional) and gently toss again.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Let the pickle sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it will become (up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
- Serve chilled with cold meats, fish, crackers, bread, or cheese.
