Sweet Cucumber Salad

Sweet Cucumber Salad
This light vinaigrette with a dash of sugar is just the right blend to highlight Orient Express cucumbers and will make a perfect accompaniment to sushi or other oriental fare.

Thinly slice two Orient Express cucumbers and place in bowl along with 1/8 cup rice wine vinegar, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce and freshly ground pepper. Garnish with fresh chopped dill and allow cucumbers to marinate an hour or more before serving.
