Cucumber Moons With Seaweed Salad
July 10, 2018Cucumbers are mild and refreshing. This is the perfect vegetable to pair with the ocean-like flavor of the mineral and vitamin packed seaweed. This dish is great served with grilled fish. I would try a little salmon. If using fresh seaweed make sure to rinse it well to remove excess salt.
