Summer Sesame Cucumber salad
Cucumbers (sliced paper-thin lengthwise with a vegetable peeler or mandoline) red onion, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, sea salt and cracked pepper.
Ok, what's more cool and refreshing AND guilt-free in the summertime than water vegetables? Slicing the cucumbers lengthwise gives a different mouth feel, and the sesame oil imparts a tasty nuttiness that stands up to the cucumber and onion. I was inspired to make this after craving my favorite Japanese seaweed salad with the sesame oil. Crisp, fresh, and great for summer picnics!
