This Japanese inspired cool, crisp salad is as elegant and well balanced as it is simple.

مكونات الوصفة:

1. 2 medium cucumbers or 1 large English cucumber
2. 1/4 cup rice vinegar
3. 1 teaspoon sugar
4. 1/4 ملعقة صغيرة ملح
5. 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Tip)

خطوات الوصفة:

1. Peel cucumbers to leave alternating green stripes. Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise; scrape the seeds out with a spoon. Using a food processor or sharp knife, cut into very thin slices. Place in a double layer of paper towel and squeeze gently to remove any excess moisture.
2. Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium bowl, stirring to dissolve. Add the cucumbers and sesame seeds; toss well to combine. Serve immediately.

Tip: To toast sesame seeds, heat a small dry skillet over low heat. Add sesame seeds and stir constantly until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
