Marinated Cucumber Salad
This cucumber salad is the perfect companion to any protein - It is a refreshing contrast to grilled fish, chicken, or steak and pairs nicely with roasted chicken and pan-seared salmon.
INGREDIENTS —
1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
½ shallot thinly sliced
⅓ cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
INSTRUCTIONS —
Using a mandoline or knife, thinly slice the cucumber and shallots.
Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Refrigerate in an airtight container for at least an hour, or make it a day ahead and store it in the fridge.
The cucumbers get tangier and more flavorful the longer they marinate!
