I made this when I was out of dressing. It was really good, so I've been relying on it ever since.

This is also good with mizuna greens or green bell peppers instead of cucumber.
If you leave it standing for too long the tofu will start to exude moisture, so I recommend making it just before you plan to eat it. For 2 servings. Recipe by naganyo
