Cucumber Salad with Lime

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a bowl, and gently toss. Taste, adjust salt and acid. You want this to taste flavorful!


Notes:

  • Cutting the cucumbers thicker with keep them stay crisper longer.

  • For a Scandinavian twist, sub dill for the cilantro and lemon for the lime. Leave out the jalapeño.

  • For a Greek twist, try mint and parsley with lemon, no jalapeño.

  • For a Middle Eastern twist use lemon instead of lime.

  • For a Mexican twist add a pinch of chipotle powder for smokiness (start very light)
