Asian Cucumber Salad

from Peanut-Sesame Noodles with Asian Cucumbers, the Week of August 17, 2014.
View the next recipe for this meal.

A vinaigrette marinated salad with just a kiss of sesames. If you cannot find mirin use a bit of your favorite sweetener instead. The cucumber slices will almost ‘pickle’ with time so enjoy these immediately or after they have chilled out and absorbed more flavor. If you love onions, a few slices of sweet onions would work well in this salad.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon mirin, or a teaspoon of sugar or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Serving Size: 2 People
