3 medium celery stalk , 3 ribs from close to the center, leaves removed, diced on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces
1 Cucumber, fresh, medium , peeled and sliced very thin
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp canola oil
1 medium garlic cloves , minced
0.25 tsp salt (optional)
0.12 tsp hot red pepper flakes , crushed (to taste)
0.25 tsp sesame oil , 3 drops

1 Combine the celery and cucumber in a bowl.

3 Toss dressing with vegetables and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
4 Before serving sprinkle with sesame oil and toss again.
