Asian Cucumber Salad June, 2013

2 large cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1/4 red onion sliced thin, separated
1 stalk celery

3/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp lite soy sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted until brown
Chili powder, I used my Hatch red chili powder, 3 tsp.

In a large bowl, stir together rice vinegar, water, sugar, soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil.

Add cucumbers, red onion, celery, tossing to coat, chill 1 hour.

Add sesame seeds before serving.

I adapted a recipe I found on Pinterest called Spicy Asian Cucumbers Salad. I didn't want a spicy taste but a cool summery taste so I tried my chili powder that I got when we got all the Hatch chilies. Yum!
Couldn't wait to post this before I forgot anything. We also added the onions and celery.
You can add anything from your garden or fridge that would marinade well.
Store in Mason jar.
