Sunomono (Japanese Cucumber Salad) image

This is a cool and tangy salad that can compliment any Asian themed meal. Especially with things like Tempura or other dishes that don't already include a substantial amount of vegetables. Also very quick and simple to make!

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cucumbers
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp rice vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Wash cucumbers and peel if desired. (I peel stripes on mine.) Slice cucumbers paper thin using a mandolin. Stir in salt, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Squeeze water out from cucumbers.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. The dressing was lacking in flavor and the cucumbers and carrots were not very crisp. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the dressing had been more tangy and the vegetables had been more crunchy.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The dressing was well-balanced and the cucumbers and carrots were crisp, but the vinegar flavor was a bit overpowering for me. I might try making it again wit
