Cucumber and Carrot Side Salad



Japanese cucumbers are best if you can find them. If your vegetables are too thick, then this dish will taste like cucumbers and carrots coated in vinegar. Instead, julienne the vegetables as thinly as you can so that they absorb some of the vinegar. You can also use Daikon radish instead of cucumber.

1 deskinned deseeded julienned cucumber
1 julienned carrot
seasoned light rice vinegar
sugar, maple syrup, or something similar

Mix rice vinegar with sugar to taste. Mix with the vegetables
