Steps:

• Peel the cucumber and slice paper thin.
• Slice the onion paper thin.
• Make the dressing with the rest of the ingredients.
• Toss the veggies with the dressing.
• Set in the fridge to marinate.
• I find that this salad improves with age as the cucumbers and onion soak up the flavors from the dressing, however if you slice your veggies thin enough, it's good enough to eat right away.
