Asian-style cucumber salad: This recipe is a delicious cold dish very popular in several Asian countries, especially in China, Japan, and Korea. Its origin dates back to ancient times, where fresh and light food was ideal for combating the heat. In Latin America, although the cucumber is known and used in salads, the preparation with an Asian touch goes by various names such as "cucumber salad with oriental dressing" or simply "fresh salad with vinegar and sesame." This combination of sour, sweet, and spicy flavors reflects the oriental culinary influence that has been adopted and adapted in various cuisines across the continent.
