Sesame Cucumber Salad

 Adapted from Andy’s East Coast Kitchen

This fun and flavorful salad has an interesting flavor pallet that just says YAY SUMMER. I find it to be a really nice standalone snack. As for pairings... we were all over the place here at my house. LOL Try it and let me know what YOU like to pair it with... ENJOY!

Ingredients:

1.5 – 2 English cucumbers - sliced

table salt to taste

3 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp maple syrup

1/2 cup scallions – chopped

1/2 - 1 tsp sriracha chili sauce

2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Preparation:

Peel stripes on the cucumbers, slice into a large bowl and toss with some table salt.

Mix vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, sriracha and scallions in a separate bowl and add to cucumbers. Toss until cukes are evenly coated and finally add toasted sesame seeds.

Store in refrigerator for an hour or more, toss one more time and serve.

Blessed be… and happy cooking!
