Viral Cucumber Salad — The Recipe America Cannot Stop Making!

This simple cucumber salad went completely viral in the USA and for great reason — it is incredibly addictive, takes 5 minutes, has under 80 calories, and tastes like something from an upscale Asian restaurant. Here is the exact recipe that millions of Americans are making every week!
