How to Make Cucumber Enoki Salad

  1. Peel one medium cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, thinly slice the cucumber and place it in a medium bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and gently toss to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the cucumbers to slightly soften.
  5. In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups of chopped romaine lettuce, 3 ounces enoki mushrooms (trimmed), 1/2 cup frozen peas (thawed), and 1/4 cup thinly sliced radishes.
  6. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice over the lettuce mixture. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste and toss gently.
  7. Add the marinated cucumbers to the salad bowl and toss gently to combine.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
