Japanese Cucumber Salad

Introduction
The vinegar in this recipe acts as a marinade in that it does weaken muscle tissue and increase its ability to retain moisture keeping the cucumbers very moist and crisp.

Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumbers
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps: 

• Cut cucumbers into very thin slices
• Pat them with a paper towel to remove any excess water
• Combine vinegar, sugar, an salt into a medium bowl
• Stir to dissolve
• Add the cucumbers and sesame seeds to the bowl 
• Toss well to combine

Results: 

This is a recipe that my dad has been doing since I was very little.  I love this as an appetizer or even between meals.  It's really good and even better the next day after the vinegar and salt has had time to really make the cucumbers sour.
