CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SEAWEED

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds Kirby cucumbers, sliced paper thin
2 1/4 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup fuero wakame (dried green seaweed strips), reconstituted in 1 cup water
1/2 cup Sunomono Su Konbudasi (vinegar-and-kelp sauce; see note)
2 to 4 teaspoons sugar
6 lemon slices
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • In a bowl, thoroughly mix the cucumbers with the salt by hand for about 2 minutes and let them sit for 10 minutes. Fill the bowl with cold water and strain.
  • Strain the seaweed. In a clean bowl, combine the vinegar sauce and sugar to taste. Toss in the cucumbers and the seaweed until well combined with the sauce.
  • Serve mounded on individual plates with a slice of lemon and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Use the freshest seaweed and cucumbers you can find for the best flavor and texture.
  • Prepare the seaweed properly: If using dried seaweed, be sure to soak it in water until it is softened. If using fresh seaweed, rinse it well to remove any sand or dirt.
  • Cut the vegetables into thin strips: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the delicate flavors of the seaweed and cucumber.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Seaweed salad is best when served fresh. The seaweed will start to wilt if it is left to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Seaweed and cucumber salad is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or summer side dish. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is a great option for beginners and experienced cooks alike.
