Sunomono Salad Nugget Markets signature recipes

Inspired by Japanese cuisine, this light cucumber salad boasts a crisp texture, subtle sweetness and vinegary tang perfect for starting off a meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried wakame seaweed (optional)
  • 8 Persian cucumbers
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, for garnish

Preparation

Combine the rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and salt to make a dressing. Stir until sugar is dissolved then set aside.

If using wakame, place the seaweed in a bowl and cover with 1 cup of water to bloom, about 10 minutes. Once the wakame is soft, drain and set aside.

Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, then place in a bowl with the wakame. Add the vinegar mixture and toss lightly to mix.

Transfer cucumber salad into one large serving bowl or individual bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish. Serve immediately.
