This came to me when I was nibbling on a cucumber after taking a bath, because I didn't have any dessert on hand.Just chill it very well in the refrigerator!!Slice the cucumbers very thinly.Use whatever ponzu sauce you like, but I recommend one that has yuzu in it. It's really good.If you are using regular ponzu sauce, you may want to add a little sugar. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ponzu shokunin nao

Cucumber Salad with Yogurt and Mint Dressing Cucumber Salad with Yogurt and Mint Dressing

With so much rain and the mild weather we've had, my herb garden is turning into a jungle, with all the plants growing huge. Today I decided to use the mint leaves for a delicious and nutritious cucumber salad, which is very cheap and in season. If you can't find mint, you can use spearmint.
