CUCUMBER, CARROT AND GINGER SALAD

I made this salad as a mid afternoon snack for work.  I like to have some variety for snacks and this is an easy option to make.  Plus I like sushi style ginger and use it for other things than just to have with sushi.

I used a small plastic container and stacked the vegetables on top of each other.  You can make a number of variations using different vegetables.  You can add coloured peppers, zucchini or mushrooms.  The salad reminds me of a japanese salad.

1 tsp sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS:

Using a container or a bowl, layer the vegetables on top of each other.  Add the ginger, sesame seeds and then rice vinegar.  Ready to eat right away or cover the container with a lid and refrigerate until ready to eat.  Serves one.
