📝 Preparation Steps
1
First, add the rice vinegar to a mini blender or small glass jar. Grate the garlic clove directly into the blender or jar, and allow the garlic to soak in rice vinegar for about ⏱️ 5 minutes. This reduces the sharp flavor of fresh garlic.

2
Prepare the dressing. Add the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, and black pepper to the same blender or jar as the garlic and rice vinegar. Blend or mix well until the dressing comes together. Taste and adjust to your preference. Set aside while you make the salad.

Chop the veggies. Slice both the cucumber and mini bell peppers into ⅛-¼” thick rounds. If using English cucumbers, slice them in half and remove the watery seeds first, then slice the quarter moon shapes into thin slices. If using bell peppers, seed them first, then slice into 2” long, ⅛-¼” thick pieces.
4
Assemble. Transfer the sliced cucumbers and bell peppers to a large salad bowl. Sprinkle on 2-3 teaspoons of sesame seeds and 1 ½ teaspoons of chili crisp (optional). Toss well to combine.
5
Add the dressing. Drizzle the dressing on top of the salad, then toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated in the dressing.
