Ontario Greenhouse Cucumber & Wasabi Salad

Ingredients
1 lb Ontario greenhouse cucumbers, sliced
1/2 tsp wasabi powder
1/2 tsp water
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp salt

Method
Slice the Ontario greenhouse cucumbers and add salt. Let stand for 30 minutes and then drain. With cold water, rinse salt off cucumbers and pat dry.

Mix wasabi powder with water. Add vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. Mix until sugar dissolves. Add cucumbers and toss.

Flavor note: English cucumbers can grow as long as 2 feet. They are almost seedless and have a delicate skin, which is pleasant to eat. They are also marketed as “burpless” because the seeds and skin of other cucumber varieties may cause digestive problems.

Serves 6-8
