*Cilantro should be rinsed, dried and with stems removed,
 to equal about 1 and 1/2 cups loosely packed leaves.

 Put cucumbers, onion, radishes and bell pepper in a large bowl;
 toss well. If they are not prechilled, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

 Mince cilantro leaves.

 Drizzle rice wine vinegar over vegetables, sprinkle the cilantro and ginger over them
, and toss thoroughly to combine.  Season to taste and serve immediately.

"The key to this salad...is to use the freshest, crispest vegetables you can find. 
 It should be served chilled to get the best effect, but you can avoid a time lag
 between preparation and serving by refrigerating the vegetables
 for several hours before beginning, so they go chilled right into the bowl.
