Creamy Asian Cucumber Salad Bowl


  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegan

Description

A vibrant salad combining fresh vegetables with a creamy vegan dressing, perfect for meal prep or a light meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 150 g crispy baked tofu (or your protein of choice)
  • 1/3 cup edamame, shelled and thawed
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • 1 spring onion, sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, cut into 1 cm cubes
  • 1 tbsp vegan cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp vegan mayo
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tsp chili-crisp oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Optional: 1-2 tsp crushed nori flakes

Instructions

  1. Start by placing the thinly sliced cucumber at the bottom of your jar. Press lightly to create a stable base.
  2. Layer the onion, crispy tofu, edamame, julienned carrot, spring onion, and avocado cubes on top.
  3. For make-ahead lunches, remember to keep the saucy ingredients toward the top to maintain crispness.
  4. Secure the lid tightly to avoid leaks and refrigerate upright until ready to eat.
  5. When it’s time to enjoy, shake the jar upside-down twice before giving it a vigorous shake for 10 seconds for even dressing distribution.
  6. You can eat straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl for easier tossing.

Notes

For added flavor, try a squeeze of lime juice and ensure vegetables are dry before layering.
