Ingredients

4 Persian cucumbers or 1 large English cucumber, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds and halved or quartered depending on preference
1 cup shelled edamame, cooked and cooled
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1-2 teaspoons Sriracha, depending on spice preference
½-3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
Optional: minced cilantro or sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, maple syrup, sesame oil, sriracha, and salt until well combined.
Slice and quarter the cucumbers and green onions. Heat, drain, and cool the shelled edamame if frozen.
Add the cucumbers, green onions, and edamame to a medium bowl, then pour the dressing over the top. Toss gently to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors soak in—if you're short on time, it's still delicious served right away!
