1 tsp honey or maple syrup
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
1 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)

In a large bowl, combine sliced cucumbers and julienned carrots.
In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, sesame oil, honey, salt, and pepper.
Pour dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and herbs (if using).
Serve immediately, or chill for 15–20 minutes for more flavor.

For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or sliced fresh chili.
Can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 1 day (best enjoyed fresh).
Swap sesame oil for olive oil and sesame seeds for sunflower seeds for a different flavor profile.
