- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
- 1 tablespoon dill minced & fresh dill or ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
Instructions
- Slice the cucumbers as thinly as you can without slicing your hand. Or go buy a mandoline.
- Throw your tablespoon of sesame seeds into a small dry frying pan. Set over medium heat and stir occasionally until the seeds just begin to brown. You don't want to overdo it.
- Gently toss together all of the ingredients until everything is evenly coated. Put in a container with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
