Japanese Cucumber Salad image

From Madhur Jaffrey's World of the East Vegetarian Cooking. I ususally make it with 2 regular cucumbers sliced on a mandolin slicer. And I just throw unaltered sesame seeds in it.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing.

I'm not a fan of the sesame seeds in this salad. I think they're a bit too overpowering.

I love the crunch of the cucumbers in this salad. It's a great contrast to the soft tomatoes and onions.

I'm not a big fan of cucumbers, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing is so flavorful and the cucumbers are so crisp and refreshing.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cucumbers. I always have a few extras lying around and this is a great way to use them up.

I love how this salad is so versatile. I've added shredded carrots, bell peppers, and even edamame to it before.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a hit. It's the perfect side dish for grilled chicken or fish.
