Method
- Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise.
- Using a small spoon, scoop the seeds out (don’t discard it – use for smoothies, salad dressing, raita or other dips, facials etc),
- Slice both cucumber pieces thinly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil and honey. Taste and adjust to your liking.
- Add the cucumber slices and half of the sesame seeds, then toss well. Rest for at least 15 minutes.
