Lee’s Asian Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

• 2 Medium Cucumbers Sliced as Desired
• 1/4 Cup Light Soy Sauce
• 1/4 Cup Rice Vinegar
• 1/4 Cup Water
• 1 1/2 Teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil
• 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Grated Ginger
• 2 Scallion Onions Sliced Thin
• 1 Teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
• 1/4 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
• as Needed Salt

Steps

1. Slice cucumbers and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let sit for an hour, then rinse with water and let them drain off. The salt helps remove excess moisture, and any bitterness the cucumbers may have.
2. Briskly whisk all of the ingredients to make a dressing. Pour dressing over the prepared cucumbers.
3. Let cucumbers marinate in the dressing for at least an hour. Left refrigerated over night is even better. Enjoy
