Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For serving

1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Toss to coat and let stand for 10 minutes, until the cucumbers have released some of their liquid. Drain off the excess liquid and pat the cucumbers lightly dry with a paper towel.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, olive oil, honey, turmeric, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt until the dressing is smooth and the turmeric is fully incorporated.
