Korean cucumber salad (oi muchim)

As a kid, I remember watching my mom toss together this refreshing cucumber salad as an easy side dish for meals.

I hosted a Korean lunch for friends today and decided to make this recipe: https://kimchimari.com/korean-cucumber-salad/ It’s surprisingly quick and easy to make. This cucumber salad offers a bright complement to well-seasoned fatty proteins. For today’s lunch, we served this salad with Korean kalbi-style chicken thighs and leafy lettuce (for lettuce wraps).
