Asian cucumber salad

 Maybe it should be called English cucumber salad since that's the main ingredient. It just a quick, filling, fresh salad for dinner on a hot day. I didn't measure the ingredients so these are estimates - Dressing, : 1/4 c avocado oil  1/4 c sesame oil 1/8c rice vinegar 1/8 c mirin 1/8 c soy sauce 1 T ginger, grated (peel & freeze first, then grate) 1 T garlic, grated Shake to mix well, you may have more than you need for your greens. Salad:  1 english cucumber, partially peeled & sliced 1/2 c edamame, shelled & thawed 1/4 quarter head red and/or green cabbage, chopped 1-2 avocado, peeled & cubed handful of basil leaves, lightly torn/chopped or small leaves left whole 1-2 T sesame seeds, toasted (white or black)  Toss greens and dress with desired amount of dressing.  I added tuna on top of mine, Papa ate his with chicken
