▢ 1 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin

For the Salad Dressing

In a Bowl, Add olive oil, peel and chop garlic pod, Dry roast sesame seeds till the brown colour starts showing up. Add roasted sesame seeds to the dressing, mix it well with the whisk or spoon. let it sit for 10 minutes

Dry Roast pumpkin seeds separately and add to the cucumber and onion.

Just before serving the salad, Add salt into the dressing and pour it over cucumber and onion.
▢
Toss all the ingredients and enjoy your crunchy cucumber onion salad.

Recipe Notes

Do not add salt till you serve otherwise cucumber leaves the water and it makes the salad soggy.
