Cu"ke"umber Salad

Cucumber Salad

This salad is similar to one that you find in many Asian restaurants. It's absolutely perfect for this hot, east coast weather!!! This recipe is from Amy ...thanks!

Ingredients:

2 seedless cucumbers (or 2 seedy ones with the tough seeds removed), peeled and sliced thin

½ cup rice vinegar or white vinegar

¼ cup canola oil

A little tamari or low salt soy sauce

2-4 Tbsp sugar (use more than you think you should)

¼ tsp salt, more to taste

Lightly toasted black or regular sesame seeds

Optional: a little sesame oil

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients except the cukes with a whisk or fork. The sugar won’t entirely dissolve, but that’s OK.

2. Pour dressing over the cukes and let them marinate in the refrigerator for an hour to a day.
