Pounded Cucumber with Refreshing Pickled Plum and Miso Sauce Pounded Cucumber with Refreshing Pickled Plum and Miso Sauce

Since I love the combination of umeboshi and miso, I tried it out on pounded cucumber.It's best to use unsweetened umeboshi. If left sitting for too long, this will become watery, so serve as soon as you mix in the seasoning. It has 53 kcal per serving. Recipe by LazyHata

These sliders will be unlike any slider you’ve had before. They are also a healthier version of your typical burger but thanks to all the added flavors, you won’t be missing a thing. We suggest serving 3 sliders for a meal. Shout out to “The Grilling Book” for this recipe.
