Marinated Cucumber Salad

Appetizingly crisp, and so easy!

(serves 4)

Ingredients:

• 2 large cucumbers
• 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes, or season according to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 slice fresh ginger, 1/4-inch thick, peeled and minced
• 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds for garnish

Directions:

Cut off the ends of the cucumbers. Peel cucumbers, slice very thin and put into a serving bowl. Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Taste dressing and adjust seasonings to taste. Pour over cucumbers and toss gently. You may choose to sprinkle sesame seeds over salad for garnish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Cucumbers will soften as they marinate.
