Categories     Salad

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound cucumbers (, about 3)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin ((rice wine))
2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon tamari soy sauce (, optional, (see note))
1 teaspoon toasted black sesame seeds ((see note))

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumbers and trim the ends. Run the tines of a fork in parallel lines down the length of the cucumbers to score what will be decorative lines on the slices.
  • Slice thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle the slices with salt; let drain in a colander over a plate 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse and drain the cucumbers on towels. (see note)
  • Make a dressing with the vinegar, mirin, ginger, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce, if using. Toss the cucumber with the dressing and the sesame seeds. Refrigerate to marinate about an hour.

GINGER SALAD DRESSING



Ginger Salad Dressing image

Love ginger? You'll love this homemade salad dressing recipe! It's full of fresh ginger flavor, balanced by a touch of maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. Recipe yields 3/4 cup dressing.

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Salad Dressing

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, to taste
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, to taste
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
About 20 twists of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a jar or small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until fully blended. Sometimes, if your mustard is cold, it will need a few minutes to warm up before it fully incorporates.
  • Taste, and adjust if necessary-for more tartness, add another teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, or for more sweetness/balance, add another teaspoon or two of maple syrup (I usually add one).
  • This salad dressing will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Real olive oil can solidify slightly when cold; if that happens, simple let it warm to room temperature for a few minutes or microwave it in a microwave-safe jar for no more than 15 to 30 seconds.
