Cucumbers With Soy-sesame Dressing

==Description==
This is a refreshing, Asian inspired cucumber salad. I got this from the Williams Sonoma "Cooking from the Farmers Market" cookbook. The Sugar listed in the ingredients list was not in the original recipe, but I added it to suit our tastes. Cook time is maximum marinating time.

* 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar<BR>

* 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil<BR>

* 1/2-1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)<BR>
* 2 medium cucumbers, slices paper thin<BR>
* 1/4 cup minced red onions<BR>
* 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
===Directions===
In a bowl, combine the rice vinegar, Peanut oil, soy sauce, sesame oil and crushed red pepper and Sugar (if using) and wisk well.<BR>
Add cucumbers and red Onion, and toss them in dressing.<BR>
Cover and refrigerate for an hour or up to 24 hours.<BR>
