This might be the easiest dish I’ll have on my blog. Though I strive to make all my recipes fail-proof while keeping them healthy and wholesome, this one still might be the easiest. Here it goes.

Ingredients:

• 1 large cucumber, washed
• 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (black or white are fine)

Directions:

1. Slice the cucumber as thin as you can. If you have a mandolin, this would be a perfect time to use it! If not, be careful for your fingers.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour the marinade over the cucumber and mix thoroughly.
4. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge.

*NOTES*

• You sure can eat these right away, but I recommend letting them soak in the marinade overnight. It will make the flavor much better.
• Cucumbers are a very water-dense vegetable. Even the small amount of salt in the marinade will pull some of the water off the cucumbers making the mixture more liquid-y – osmosis, man! I recommend draining off most of the remaining marinade before enjoying them.
