Healthy Thai Salad

Cumber and Orange Salad _ Thai

S. A. Knight
This is a good healthy refreshing salad that is easy to prepare. The sesame seeds are best obtained from an Asian market as those seeds sold in most American stores won't do.
Ingredients:
1 small greenhouse cucumber, sliced thin.
2 navel oranges, peeled, separated into segments (seeded if necessary), and probably chopped into chunks.
Dressing:
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon mirin (Japanese Sweet Cooking Wine)
Mix all ingredients in the dressing. Pour the dressing over the oranges and cucumbers, and toss. Serve.
All ingredient quantities are approximate. Adjust to taste. Can be multiplied for more servings.

Note: Good cheap sesame seeds are available at most Asian markets -- they usually come roasted; if they're unroasted, roast them in a skillet for a few short minutes as needed.

Makes 2 servings.
