Cucumber-Ginger Salad

Ingredients:
  • 1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled
  • 1-1/2 large English cucumbers, haled lengthwise and sliced thin crosswise
  • 1/4 C cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbs. packed brown sugar
  • 3 Tbs. soy sauce
  • 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbs. toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp. table salt
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
Instructions:

Slice ginger crosswise into thin coins. Stack coins 4 high and slice into thin matchsticks.

Toss cucumber, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, salt, pepper flakes and ginger in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Let sit for 1 hour for flavors to meld, stirring occasionally. Serve using slotted spoon. (Salad can be strained from dressing before serving, if desired, but is best stored in dressing.)
