Cucumber Salad

Perfectly tangy and crunchy cucumber salad.

It is great as an appetizer, snack or side dish.

I always see people ordering this salad at Asian restaurants. Great idea.

Until I saw it on the menu for $9.

That just seems like too much for a simple cucumber salad.

Anyone else have weird things they choose to be cheap about?

No more excuses: make it at home.

You probably already have most of this stuff anyway.

Ingredients:

1. 8 Persian cucumbers, or 2 English cucumbers
2. 1/3 C rice vinegar
3. 2 ts sesame seed oil
4. 2 ts sesame seeds
5. salt and pepper

Popular option: 1 Tb sugar

Directions:

1. Cut cucumbers in 1/2 inch coins
2. Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl
3. Garnish with sesame seeds

Notes:

• it is ready to eat immediately unless you add sugar, then throw it in the fridge for an hour
• if using regular cucumbers, cut them in half and deseed them
• you can also add chili oil or sliced fresh chilis
• stays crunchy for about 2 days
