Cucumber salad with sesame and pepper

10 minutes
Cucumber salad with sesame and pepper is a light and aromatic dish inspired by French cuisine, which values freshness and flavor balance. Crunchy cucumbers combined with spicy green pepper and tender cilantro create a vibrant contrast, while wine vinegar and sunflower oil add a refined sweet-sour note. Sesame seeds provide a subtle nutty flavor and light crunch. This salad is perfect as a refreshing complement to main dishes, especially fish and meat delicacies.
