This delicious cucumber recipe is a great side salad for any dinner. You can also use it as a buddha bowl topping!

When serving this cucumber dish as a salad on its own, cut the cucumber pieces a little bigger as shown in the photo. It'll make it easier to pick up individual pieces of cucumber. For buddha bowls, it's better to dice the cucumber a little finer so that it's not dominating the dish too much.

This is a good "fusion"-y recipe that suits many types of cuisines well. For example, it would make a great side salad with some vegan enchiladas, or as a topping in a Japanese buddha bowl.
