1 Tbsp (15 g) crispy chili oil, plus more to taste
Directions:
1. Prep the cucumber, cilantro, and peanuts. Transfer to a bowl along with the sesame seeds. 2. Add all of the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and mix. 3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss*. Let sit for at least 10 minutes for the flavours to infuse and for the cucumber to soften slightly . 4. Taste test and adjust the seasoning as desired. Plate, drizzle over the chili oil, and garnish with more cilantro, peanuts, and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Add more water if a thinner consistency is desired. Note, though, that the cucumber will release some liquid as it sits in the dressing.
Storage
Best on the day it's made, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Most of the sweetness comes from the berries, so feel free to play with the amount of sweetened condensed milk so that the sweetness level is to your liking.
