Story
|
This is the kind of salad that you can impress with. Serve it for a special luncheon, party, or anytime you want a salad that is unexpected.
Use regular cucumbers, not seedless. Seedless don't tend to have the same fresh flavor and aroma. Choose the smallest cucumbers you can. If there is a fleshy seedy center, just cut it out. Be sure to peel the cucumber as the seaweed has enough texture all by itself.
