Ingredients - Preparation Method:

Dressing 1/2 cup white rice vinegar 1/3 cup Dijon mustard 3/4 inch piece of fresh ginger -- peeled 2 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil 3 cucumbers (about 2 lbs) rinshed, trimmed -- halved lengthwise 6 red radishes 4 medium carrots -- peeled 16 ounces white mushrooms, cleaned -- quartered 8 scallions -- sliced 1 tablespoon sesame seeds -- toasted* For dressing: Process all dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor, except oils until ginger and garlic are finely chopped. With motor running, slowly add oils (through opening) in processor or blender. Transfer to a jar; cover and refrigerate. For salad: Using a slicing disk (thinnest you have available), slice cucumbers. Transfer to a serving bowl. Slice radishes in processor; wrap in a damp paper towel and refrigerate. Wipe processor bowl. Insert shredding disk; shred carrots. Add carrots, mushrooms and scallions to cucumbers in serving bowl. Toss to mix. (Cover with a damp paper towel and refrigerate at this point if making ahead.) Just before serving, toss salad with dressing. Top with sliced radishes and toasted sesame seeds*. * To toast sesame seeds, heat in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often until they start to pop and turn golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
