2 Cucumbers (spiralized into ribbons, or thinly sliced)
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1⁄2 teaspoon Minced Garlic
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon raw cane sugar

2 teaspoons Now Foods' organic sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Put your spiralized (or thinly cut) cucumbers in a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle the sea salt on them making sure that it gets on evenly. Put bowl in the fridge for one hour.

  3. Put the squeezed cucumber ribbons back into the bowl and then add in all of the remaining ingredients. 
  4. Stir until thoroughly combined.
