My Korean friend shared this with me, and it's been my favorite ever since!

A easy and refreshing way to add some Asian flavor to your dinner table is with Korean cucumber salad. The crisp cucumbers and mildly spicy dressing create a perfect harmony of tastes. Warm weather calls for this salad, which is sure to be a welcome change from your typical side dishes. It's perfect for weeknights when you're short on time but yet want to wow visitors since it's so simple to whip together.

If you're grilling chicken, Korean BBQ, or even just regular burgers, this cucumber salad will go well with them. Incorporating steamed rice and a lean protein like fish into a balanced dinner with this side dish is a great idea. At your next summer get-together or potluck, this dish will be the talk of the town and the perfect centerpiece for your buffet.
