Crisp Asian-Inspired Cucumber Salad

Place the 1/8 inch thick cucumber slices in a bowl and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside for 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, granulated sugar, sesame oil, cilantro, scallions, garlic, and ginger to make the dressing.

Drain the cucumbers, discarding any excess liquid, and return them to the bowl.

Pour the dressing over the cucumbers, and toss gently to combine.

Sprinkle the salad with sesame seeds and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
