We followed the recipe, except we removed the seeds & mandolined our cucumber into strings. A perfect & quick salad to our summer barbecue dinner. Thank you very much for posting this recipe! I look forward to trying it again with grated ginger or sesame seeds ....

I love this recipe. I cut the cucumber into match sticks and double the sesame oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Fabulous served with grilled chicken breast. My aunt who lives in Japan made a salad very similar to this on her last visit home.

Cucumber salads are the perfect summer tonic. This was a very refreshing change of pace from our usual preparation. The soy sauce and sesame oil add a different flavor dimension. I added a sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish. Thanks for posting.

I made this as a fast salad for supper tonight. Since it was just me, I cut everything in half and didn't cook the dressing. Just put everything (except the cucumbers) in a small jar and shake well. Tossed it and let stand. ENJOY! PS. Add a handfull of olive slices or halves for a change of pace.
