Japanese Sunomono


Even though the wind is howling and the thermometer outside is barely pushing 50 degrees, the show must go on so I made this Japanese Sunomono salad for the annual Memorial Day neighborhood picnic tomorrow.  I used four organic cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced, about a tablespoon or more of minced fresh ginger, thinly sliced a bit of sweet onion, and am marinating it in 1/3 cup of seasoned rice vinegar. The flavors should all be infused nicely by tomorrow afternoon's fete.

  1. This cucumber salad looks delicious. One of my favorite summer salads is cucumber-wakame salad. Thinly sliced cucumbers with lightly steamed wakame, dressed with brown rice vinegar, tamari and toasted sesame oil. Enjoy the neighborhood picnic. Wish I could be there with you!

    1. Thanks, Carlita. Your salad sounds delicious, too, thought you stumped me on wakame. I'm not familiar with it.
