2 1/2 Tbsp (50ml) - Rice Wine Vinegar
2 tsp (20g) - Honey
2 tsp (10ml) - Sesame Oil

Cucumber Onion, Tomato, Dill Salad
Ingredients -
1 - Cucumber, Chopped
250g - Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
1/2 - Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
1/3 Cup - Mixed Herbs, Dill, Mint, Flat Leaf Parsley, Picked
Red Wine Vinaigrette -
2 Tbsp (40ml) - Red Wine Vinegar
1 1/2 tsp (6g) - Onion Powder
1 - Garlic Clove, Grated
1/4 Cup (60ml) - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Method -
Slice cucumber into thin rounds. Use a mandolin for the best accuracy. Place all ingredients into a bowl or container and mix to combine. Serve and dig in.
To make the vinaigrette, add all the ingredients to a bowl except the extra virgin olive oil and whisk to combine. While whisking, slowly pour in the oil and whisk until combined.
Recipe Notes -
Gochugaru is a coarsely ground Korean chilli powder that is similar to crushed red pepper flakes in texture. It is traditionally made from sun-dried peppers without the seeds. If you can't find it, don't stress. You can use a small pinch of ground chilli flakes instead. Please note, though, that chilli flakes are a lot spicier than gochugaru, so please don't blow your socks off-unless you like that, of course.

I make the korean one very often, i use gochujang along with the rest of the ingredients 🤤 and the toasted sesame oil is definitely a gamechanger 🤤🤤🤤

[@ChefJackOvens]

Very nice! Toasted sesame oil is the best

[@richsmart321]

for the 2nd one, would you recommend either chilli powder (mild) or chilli flakes as an alternative if you cant get gochugaru?

[@rabiahabib7139]

I used those and it tasted good also I added some lemon juice just bc I like the taste and put in A LOT OF CHILLI FLAKES if you want it actually spicy but that's personal preference you don't have to do these things

[@ChefJackOvens]

Chilli flakes will be better than powder

Hi.... What does Msg used for?? And where to find it

[@ChefJackOvens]

MSG is a flavour enhancer. It’s full name is monosodium glutamate and most Asian grocers and some supermarkets should sell it

[@bonniezelakiewicz2469]

Msg just seems to "wake up" many things. Pasta salad, potato salad, and obviously cucumber salad. It's just makes things taste yummier. Some may have an allergic reaction, but not everyone. Most markets carry it in the spice section.

[@hzlkelly]

I'd have your salad with a roasted thyme and rosemary chicken

[@ChefJackOvens]

Very nice

@@ChefJackOvens I just tried the one that I thought was the winner and it wasn’t what I thought it would be. I definitely think you might be right 🤭

[@user-cm9pe6hb4y]

A big NO to MSG thank you

[@PileOfKyle4231]

There's nothing wrong with it. The chemical has been studied and has been shown to not have any negative health effects if used in appropriate amounts (like everything else). I forget the reason why, but back in the 90s it got a bad rap from a rumor that it causes cancer, this is false. So look into it yourself, and maybe give it a try. It is delicious in alot of different types of food

[@lynnnelson6689]

I am surprised that a Chef would even suggest MSG. Never, never, never.

[@april_may_or_may_not]

I've seen lots of chefs, even a James Beard awarded chef like J Kenji Lopez-Alt, regularly use msg. I wouldn't personally, but I'm no longer surprised to hear it.

[@shazamminazz]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with MSG - it's literally just sugar and salt. If you research MSG online you'll see that it was racially biased stereotyping that led to this seasoning being wrongly badmouthed. MSG is a perfectly harmless flavour enhancer!

[@lynnnelson6689]

​@@shazamminazz Wrong.

[@lynnnelson6689]

@@shazamminazzI did the research for you. Quote: "In many countries MSG goes by the name “China salt”. Beside its flavour enhancing effects, MSG has been associated with various forms of toxicity. MSG has been linked with obesity, metabolic disorders, Chinese Restaurant Syndrome, neurotoxic effects and detrimental effects on the reproductive organs."

[@shazamminazz]

​@lynnnelson6689 that research is clearly outdated as is this line of thinking. ABC News, BBC, CNN, Business Insider and the journal of the academy of nutrition (to name a few) have all dispelled the false claims against MSG but sure u stick to your guns 😂 bye!
