Step by step
Instructions
The biggest shortcut is to slice the cucumbers with a mandoline directly into the bowl and mix the dressing while they’re salting. The salad is best fresh, but you can slice and salt the cucumbers up to 2 hours ahead; add the dressing shortly before serving.

Variants and alternatives
Without wakame the salad will be simpler but still fresh, just less briny. For a milder flavor omit the ginger and add only sesame. For a spicier version add a pinch of chili flakes or a few drops of chili oil. If you don’t have tamari, regular soy sauce works, but the salad may no longer be gluten-free.
