<JAPANESE PICKLED CUCUMBERS>

Updated: Feb 28, 2022








Japanese pickled cucumbers are something I always make as a side dish over the summer. The dressing is extremely refreshing and versatile!


If you are vegan, please leave the crab stick out and add in more vegetables like leafy greens, okura and even tomatoes will go with this dressing!


Enjoy!
