Oriental Cucumber Salad

Best when prepared ahead of time and allowed to chill.
Salad:
7 medium size cucumbers
Optional: 1 large tomato and small can of clams
Black salted and toasted sesame seeds

Dressing:
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3/4 tsp sugar, approx
1/8 cup vegetable oil
Stir well, making sure sugar is dissolved. May need to heat slightly, but cool
before mixing into cucumbers.

Peel cucumbers, seed, and slice. Salt and stir as you are slicing. Let sit for 15-20
minutes, stirring often. Take small handfuls of cucumbers and squeeze as much
juice out as you can until cucumbers look transparent. Add dressing, stir and
chill, topping with sesame seeds.

If adding tomate, make sure to seed them as well.
If adding clams, drain first.
