I like adding cucumber sliced thin into a clear soup and when I worked in Shanghai style restaurant in grad school, Mr. Shu made the nicest salad...

peel & seed the cuke, then slice lengthwise... salt and lay out to drain for 1/2 hour. then rinse and cut into thin slices. sprinkle with white or rice vinegar, soy sauce and sesame seed oil then mix well. serve with a sprinkle of green onion on top.

for a fancy presentation, drain & then marinate the cuke before you slice... keep the cuke halves whole until just before serving - slice it up but keep the pieces all together on a tray of lettuce leaves. make a final drizzle of sesame oil & garnish with green onion.

Hacked chicken is great when served over a bed of bean thread noodles covered with spicy sesame sauce ( you can use peanut butter instead of tahini) and topped with shredded lettuce and slivered cucumber.
