This refreshing cucumber salad is perfect for a hot summer day ! It’s good as a side salad or just as delicious when mixed in with rice.
This recipe serves 2-3 and it is recommended to eat right away before the cucumber becomes soggy. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do. My little tot loves it but my husband only give it a 6 out of 10 as he doesn’t like cucumber dishes in general.
Ingredients:
1 English Cucumber (Julienne or thinly sliced)- Regular cucumber works too. 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil A dash of sesame seeds Raspberry or Cherry tomatoes for garnish (*optional)
