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.
