This refreshing side salad, which pairs well with seared tuna or soy-glazed salmon, has all the flavors of a cucumber roll.

Really enjoyed this as a side dish with the Thai Hot & Sour Soup recipe. Made 25% of recipe but still used 1/4 tsp. of wasabi and added a bit more vinegar than 25% of the amount given. Next time, I will made very thin slices of cucumber, then quarter them, as I found the julienned pieces too large. Used a regular cucumber and removed the seeds easily with a small spoon, which gives the same effect as an English cucumber at a lower cost.

This salad had a nicely different set of flavors, and was really refreshing. The rice vinegar was a bit too strong for me, and I would have chopped the nori into small pieces and simply stirred it into the salad instead, since I didn't love it as a garnish. I agree that adding some cubed avocado would round out the flavors.

If you love any kind of sushi...this recipe is for you! So many variations can be made to this simple rice to adapt it to your favorite sushi type. I took other reviewers advice and added avocado...delicious! Next time I may try adding sashimi grade salmon. This pairs well with CL's Roasted Salmon with Citrus and Herbs
