When summer rolls around, I’m always looking forward to trying out new types of salads. I was particularly excited about today’s recipe, because this year I’m growing cucumbers in my garden. This unique salad seems to be a great way to use up those cucumbers!
Ingredients:
2 large cucumbers
10 medium strawberries, washed, dried, sliced
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil
Instructions:
1. Peel cucumbers. Slice in half lengthwise. If seeded, remove with teaspoon. Cut cucumbers across into 1/4 inch slices. Place in colander. Sprinkle with salt and toss. Allow to drain about 20 minutes. Rinse with cold water to remove salt. Spread out on paper towels and pat dry.
2. Place berries and cucumbers in bowl and chill.
3. Whisk brown sugar, soy, and vinegar together until smooth. Set aside.
4. When ready to serve salad, pour sesame oil and dressing over and toss.
