Asian Cucumber and Sesame Salad image

I am still trying to find a recipe that comes close to the Shanghai Cucumber dish at PF Chang's. I just found this on another website and here is what the chef had to say: "I am experimenting with cucumbers since I ate this cucumber thing at PF Chang's. This one is better than the first one and as close as I have gotten to PF Chang's cucumber appetizer. When you have drained the sauce that they are marinating in, try to pour some of the sauce over brown rice. It is really good!"

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the day before and it will still be delicious.

This was a great salad! I used a mandoline to slice the cucumbers, which made it really easy to get them nice and thin. The dressing was also perfect, not too sweet or vinegary.
