This is an easy and quick Asian Cucumber Salad, that I found to be very refreshing with these lingering high temperatures here in East Texas.
It is sweet, sour, hot and salty--all of the components of the fours tastes of an umami explosion!

It is a tempting appetizer. I can relish the tangy/sweet taste that is made even more preppy with the spice of pepper.
