    Prepare the Cucumber

    While the seaweed is soaking, slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons as per your preference. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey/agave syrup until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated seaweed, sliced cucumber, and masago. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Add salt to taste and sprinkle with sesame seeds and black sesame seeds if using. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
