Japanese Salad

This traditional Japanese salad is cool as a cucumber. The blend of rice vinegar, soy sauce and ginger offers a tangy, tantalizing flavor to ordinary cukes. Say sayanara to simple salads and hello to great taste.

Ingredients:

2 medium cucumbers, peeled and seeded
2 tsp. salt

1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. Kikkoman Soy Sauce
