My go-to for a light, fresh side dish. I slice the cukes on a mandoline so they’re very thin and really soak up the dressing. Make it a few hours ahead for the best flavor. I never see “red jalapeños” in the grocery store so I sub a pinch of red chili flakes, and I use the leftover pickled ginger slices that come with sushi (they freeze well). If I have a random carrot or 1/2 a red bell pepper to use up I slice or shred and toss ‘em in too.
