Cucumber & Red Onion Salad

Sometimes you just need a salad that is not lettuce based. This marinated salad has a nice tang and is not overpowered by the red onion. I like to use a mandoline to slice the vegetables very thin. If you do not have one, just slice them as thinly as possible.

1/2 English cucumber, sliced very thin
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, cut into halves or quarters depending on size
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp sesame oil

Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over the cucumbers and onions. Cover and refrigerate for al least one hour before serving.
