Ingredients

Instructions

  • Stir together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, liquid aminos (or soy sauce or coconut aminos), garlic and pure maple syrup in a mixing bowl.
  • Run a vegetable peeler down the side of the cucumber in 3 or 4 strips and slice the cucumber thinly.
  • Add the sliced cucumber to the mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
  • Allow the salad to marinate at least 1 hour before serving - ideally 12 to 24 hours. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it will become!

Notes
