1 green cucumber
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
good pinch salt
½ teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger root
sprig dillweed or curled parsley
Rinse and trim the cucumber. Halve lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut the flesh into moderately thin slices. Mix the vinegar with the sugar, salt and ginger, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve. Pour the mixture over the cucumber slices and stir well. Leave to stand about 1 hour. Drain the cucumber salad in a strainer or colander. Divide the slices between individual bowls and garnish with a sprig of dillweed or parsley.
