Dear radish and cucumber salad, I love you

2 large English (seedless) cucumbers, sliced on a mandolin *
2 bunches radish sliced on a mandolin
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 generous pinch of kosher salt
1 generous pinch of sugar (optional)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Marinate for 15 min. or so.  Serve chilled. Await compliments.

My husband hates green salad.  I'm not sure if there is any nutrition in this but .. hey, it's salad!

*Persian cucumbers have a thinner skin that aren't bitter and don't require pealing.
