Ingredients
-
1 Ripe Avocado (Haas California), chunked
1 Med-Large Cucumber, quartered and chunked
1 tsp Fresh Ginger Root, grated
1 Sm-Med Lemon, juiced
1 T Sesame Oil
1 T Lite Kikkoman Soy Sauce (low sodium)
3 T Seasoned Rice Vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste
Sprinkle Toasted Sesame Seeds (optional)
Sprinkle Fresh Chopped Parsley (optional)
Directions
This is a simple recipe that I made up the other day and LOVED it. The dressing can be altered to taste, however I would not suggest increasing the sesame oil as that will increase fat/calories significantly.
Combine 3 T lemon juice*, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger root in a bowl and whisk. Store in the refrigerator while you prepare the cucumber and avocado. Peel the cucumber, quarter it the long way and then chop into 1/4" thick pieces. Remove the pit and skin from the avocado and slice into small chunks. Combine in a bowl and pour dressing over. Stir gently until coated and sprinkle with sesame seeds, parsley, and salt/pepper to taste.
*reserve the rest of the lemon juice and add as more if you feel it's necessary - I like a lot of lemon flavor and added about 3/4 of the liquid from a medium lemon - and a little lemon zest for good measure!
