So easy to make, and a delicious treat on a warm summer evening...
¼ c. rice vinegar
½ tsp. sugar (I prefer raw organic)
1 tsp. soy sauce
½ tsp. sesame oil
2 medium organic cucumbers, cut lengthwise into quarters and then thinly sliced
2 tsp. sesame seeds (optional)
In a medium saucepan bring vinegar and sugar to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil (and sesame seeds if desired). Toss cucumber slices with dressing and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serves 4.
