The BEST Salad for a Summer Picnic | Diana's Kitchen

Cucumber Namasu is the perfect summer salad. It’s quick to make and only requires a few ingredients! I’ve included a traditional as well as a more savory version in this video, try bringing this on your next picnic! Ingredients 2 Cucumbers 1 Tbsp salt 1 Roma tomato 1/4 Medium red onion 4 Tsp Rice vinegar 4 Tsp Sesame oil 4 Tsp Mayo (for mayo version) Start by slicing the cucumbers lengthwise and using a spoon to scoop out the seeds and from there cut into wedges or whatever shape you’d like. Place cucumber wedges in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Give it a little stir to make sure all the pieces are salted and set aside for at least 20 minutes Dice tomato and red onion (if using onion) Place cucumbers in a colander and give them a quick rinse. Place rinsed cucumbers in a clean dish towel and squeeze out the excess moisture Place rinsed cucumbers back into a large bowl. From there, add the vinegar, sesame oil, and mayo (if making mayo version). Give it a good stir and enjoy!
