Received this in an email earlier this week. Since I have started weight watchers a few months ago I am always on the lookout for low fat low cal recipes. This one definately qualifies. You may want to adjust the amount of wasabi to make sure it isn't too hot for your taste. The number of points for those on WW is listed as "my points under the nutritional analysis. Enjoy
Cucumber Salad with Spicy Wasabi Dressing
1 1/2 tsp dry wasabi (or to taste)
2 cucumbers
2 Tbs rice wine vinegar
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp salt
1 dash ground black pepper
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 Tbs black or toasted white sesame seeds
1 Mix the wasabi with 1/2 teaspoon warm water in the bottom of a mixing bowl and let it stand for 5 minutes.
2 Peel the cucumbers, cut each one in half lengthwise, and use a melon baller or spoon to scoop out the seeds. Cut the cucumbers widthwise into 1/4-inch crescents. Add the vinegar and sugar to the wasabi and whisk until smooth.
3 Whisk in the sesame oil, salt and pepper. Just before serving, add the cucumbers, green onion, and sesame seeds to the dressing and mix well.

Don't crack up while trying to hide cheesecake cracks I love cheesecake. BUT, when my wife or I have tried to make them they crack on the top. Here is a website that while it didn't help me stop having cracked topped cheesecake it made me quit caring if it cracked or not. It also has a good recipe for Pumpkin Kahlua Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake and chocolate leaves to cover any cracks that may appear. Enjoy
