For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a subtle kick. Toasting the sesame seeds yourself will enhance their nutty flavor. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons of cucumber. This salad is best served chilled. Prepare it ahead of time and allow the flavors to meld in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
