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.
== Ingredients ==
* 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
* 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
* 1 tablespoon peanut oil
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* ½ teaspoon sesame oil
* ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
* ½-1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
* 2 medium cucumbers, slices paper thin
* ¼ cup minced red onions
* 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.
# Add cucumbers and red onion, and toss them in dressing.
# Cover and refrigerate for an hour or up to 24 hours.
# To serve, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
# Can be served chilled or at room temperature.
