James Oliver's Japanese Cucumber Salad with Ginger and Coriander

Ingredients

Fresh cucumber 3 pieces of medium size
Fresh mint 1 small handful
Fresh coriander 1 small handful
lemongrass inner part only 1 stem (optional)
Dressing (olive oil, ginger, wine vinegar, honey, soy sauce, salt) All gas station

Cooking method

  • Easy to prepare and tasty salad from a well-known guru. Has taken root in our family!
  • First, we do the gas station.
  • I make such or similar dressings in increased quantities and store them in the refrigerator for several days, periodically using them for a variety of summer salads or sandwiches.
  • Refueling:
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (white wine (apple) vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (honey)
  • 1 slice fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped (pinky, better to taste)
  • Soy sauce - 0.5 tsp
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Next, we prepare the salad itself.
  • The cucumbers should be sliced ​​lengthwise with a potato peeler or a spiromat. Most importantly, you need to get very thin slices of the cucumber.
  • For lemongrass, use only the inside of the stem, very finely chopped!
  • Spread the sliced ​​cucumber on a plate, sprinkle with fresh mint and chopped coriander, and generously with ginger and rice wine vinegar dressing.
  • Serve immediately!
  • P.S. 1) It is better to do the dressing first, because the cucumbers "flow" strongly, and preparing the dressing takes time.
  • 2) You can do without lemongrass - delicious without it! Or, for those who love citrus notes in their salad, you can use lime juice with a little zest.

Such a cheerful salad!
I use lemongrass only in soups and teas, I should try it in salads, I really like it ...
Olya, thanks for the idea!
Yes - and also, Olya - you lured such a mischievous person not only with ginger, but also with coriander, I love him very much, but it turned out ... cilantro ... I can't eat it at all ... I understand everything - with Jamie in his England, both grains and greens - one name ...
Rada-dms
