Cool Oriental Cucumber Salad image

I put this recipe together from a lot of different sources after trying in vain to find one I really liked. It has a rather delicate flavor, but you can add a little stronger vinegar if you like. I did research to determine if there was a similar one but couldn't find one. My apologies if it is the same as another.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon pickled ginger
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
1/4 teaspoon chili paste (or hot sauce of your preference)
1 teaspoon sugar (white or brown)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch salt and pepper
2 English cucumbers (or seedless or regular)
1/2 red onion
1 avocado
2 tablespoons sesame seeds or 2 tablespoons finely chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • For dressing, mix first 8 ingredients in a container and shake well.
  • Refrigerate for a couple of hours to blend the flavors.
  • Slice onion very thin and place in ice water for half hour.
  • Dry onion with paper towels before using.
  • Peel cucumbers and slice thin.
  • Place in a bowl, pour on dressing and mix well.
  • Peel and slice avocado.
  • Arrange cucumbers (don't pour out the dressing), onion, and avocado individually on a plate (they can be mixed but I like the way they look individually).
  • Drizzle the remaining dressing on the onion and avocado.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds or peanuts.
