Recipes Salad Vegetable Salad Recipes Cucumber Salad Recipes Japanese Restaurant Cucumber Salad 4.6 (51) 37 Reviews 13 Photos Simple and easy to make, with a sweet and spicy dressing that adds a refreshing bite. This recipe comes from a lovely, now-elderly Japanese woman friend who was a second-generation immigrant and patiently endured internment during WWII as a young girl. The cucumber salad is similar to sunomo in Japanese restaurants, but a bit more assertive. The ingredients are available in the Asian or ethnic foods sections of most metropolitan grocery stores. If you're diabetic, use sugar substitute instead of sugar with the same results. Original recipe called for 1 teaspoon MSG also. Recipe by MARYLAUREN Updated on January 14, 2022 Save Saved!
