--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         Kirby cucumbers -- sliced 1/4" thick
                        (small cucumbers, about 3 3/4 cup)
   2                    green onions -- thinly sliced
                        (including tops, about 1/4 cup)
   2      tablespoons   tomato sauce
                        (or bottled chili sauce)
   1      tablespoon    lime juice
   1      teaspoon      lime juice
   2      teaspoons     low sodium soy sauce
     1/2  teaspoon      sugar
     1/4  teaspoon      ground ginger
     1/4  teaspoon      hot pepper sauce

Small Kirby cucumbers, normally used for pickling, are called for here because 
they are crunchier and less watery.  You can use other cucumbers and peel them 
if desired. In a medium size bowl, combine the cucumbers and green onions.  In a
small bowl, whisk together the chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, ginger
and hot pepper sauce.  Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss to coat.
