Vienna on 2026-05-30 (5 stars): Will make this again for sure!
Ashley; @ashelerss on 2024-06-08 (5 stars): Better than DTF's for sure
Ee von on 2024-06-07 (5 stars): I love to make this as an appetiser and it's so addictive and it's healthy too. This is so appetising and easy to make. Thanks for the great recipe!
Bridget on 2023-11-17 (5 stars): I make this at least once a week (ok fine at least three times a week). It’s such a wonderful snack or side dish and SO easy to make. It’s so refreshing and can be kicked up a notch with the chili oil. So glad I found this recipe bc it’s been a great substitute for chips when I want a little snack!
Megan S on 2023-11-15 (5 stars): Have tried this salad as well as the Korean cucumber salad — this one is slightly simpler, and I also have put it on salmon bowls and it’s good to enjoy that way too!
Matt R on 2022-05-11 (5 stars): Just amazing and easy. Lasted at least 5 days and stayed crunchy and got even better. I added a big tablespoon of chili crunch into it before putting into the fridge. This is now required by my family to be kept in the fridge.
