A very easy and tasty cucumber salad. I used 2 large english cucumbers but started dinner to late to let them sit in the salt. Nice refreshing flavor and enjoyed the bite from the red pepper flakes. Used 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and at first thought it would be to overpowering but it worked nicely after chilling in the refrigerator. Thank you Charlotte for sharing this recipe!
