This Cucumber Ribbon Salad is particularly good with grilled salmon and sesame scented noodles. I have served it many times as part of a starter at any number of dinner parties.
Tip : Make sure that you use toasted sesame seed oil, otherwise you will not get either the aroma or flavor of sesame seeds.
