CHICKEN AND CUCUMBER SALAD

1 large cucumber, shredded
2/3 C cooked chicken, shredded
1/3 C cooked ham, shredded
1 T hot mustard (optional)

Seasoning sauce:

1 1/2 T sesame seed paste (I substitute it with peanut butter)
2 T low sodium soy sauce
1 T vinegar
1 T sugar
1/2 t salt
1 T sesame oil

1. Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise and discard seeds. Thinly slice it diagnally, then shred into about 1 1/2" long strips. Shred the cooked chicken and ham into the same lengths.
2. Place the shredded cucumber on platter. Layer with chicken and sprinkle ham on top.
3. Mix sesame seed paste with sesame oil, then add vinegar, sugar, salt, and soy sauce in a small bowl to make seasoning sauce.
4. Pour seasoning sauce and mustard over salad and mix well.

Serves 4 - 6.
