Salad:
- 5-6 Persian cucumbers or 1 English cucumber

- 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tbsp chili oil

Instructions
- Start by dicing up the cucumber. I like to dice mine into small, bite-size pieces so that they are similar in size to the edamame.

- Drain corn
- Add cucumber, edamame, corn, green onion, and optional avocado to a large bowl.
- Mix together vinegar, aminos, sesame oil, maple syrup, and chili oil in a small dish
