Cucumber and Wakame Seaweed Salad (Japan)

I try to include vegetables in my diet a lot so I get bored easily with salads, so I like to mix it up. I love cucumber and seaweed is sooooo good for you, and this salad tastes so good.

• 1 small cucumber
• 1 cup wakame seaweed (softened)
• 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt

Cut softened wakame seaweed into about 2inch-long pieces. Slice cucumber into thin rounds. Put salt over cucumber slices and set aside for 20 minutes. Squeeze cucumber slices to remove the liquid. Mix vinegar and sugar in a bowl.

Add wakame seaweed and cucumber slices in the bowl and mix well.
