Cucumber with Sesame Seeds

Japanese Cucumber Salad

Cucumber with Sesame Seeds is such a simple salad but a great small side dish.  It takes literally no time to make it.  The only tip here is to pound cucumbers with a pestle or a rolling pin to break them apart instead of cutting with a knife.  Having a rough surface on the cucumbers makes seasonings adhere well.

Salt is the main seasoning in this dish, but sesame oil and seeds have such a strong and delicious aroma that you don’t really need anything else.  If you want one more thing for your dinner on a busy week day, this is the one to try!
