This salad is a great way to use up leftover cucumber and seaweed. It's also very healthy and refreshing.

Not a fan. The seaweed was too chewy and the dressing was bland.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and always a hit with my family. I usually add a little extra sesame oil and vinegar to taste.
