Back when I lived in South Carolina I went to this sushi place that had this wonderful cucumber salad as an appetizer. I could never find it at any other Japanese restaurants, but I’ve learned to make it at home. This is such a light salad that really goes with most any meal. I often will slice up a cucumber and have it as a snack. So, put down the salt and hold the mayo and try this the next time you have a few cucumbers lying around.
Serves 4
Japanese Cucumber Salad
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Peel the cucumbers, but leave alternating green stripes. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. Scrape the seeds out with a spoon. Slice the cucumber into very thin slices and place into a kitchen towel or double layered paper towel and gently squeeze the excess moisture out.
Combine the vinegar, salt and sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Add the sesame seeds and cucumbers and toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
