Ingredients
- 2 English cucumber
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds. Place the slices into a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, granulated sugar, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour the dressing over the sliced cucumbers and toss gently to ensure the cucumber slices are evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and fresh dill, if using, over the salad.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a chilled option. Enjoy!
