Japanese cucumber salad with sesame seeds

This cool, fresh Japanese-style sesame cucumber salad is as balanced as it is simple.

Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumbers
• 3 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sahara
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Directions

1. Peel half of the skin off the cucumber, as shown in the photo. Cut in half lengthwise; scrub the seeds with a spoon. Use a peeler to cut the cucumbers into very thin slices. Place in a double layer of paper towel and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture.
2. Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add cucumbers and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
