This is a great side dish (or snack!) for those hot summer nights when you don't want to use the oven or stove much.  It's light, refreshing, and so easy to make!

SPICY CUCUMBER SUMMER SALAD


Ingredients:

1 serrano pepper finely diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cucumbers sliced thin
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Method:

Dice the serrano and mince the garlic, and add to a medium-sized bowl.  Add fresh lime juice, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to incorporate the 3 tablespoons olive oil.  

Next, using a mandolin, slice the cucumbers. Add the cucumbers to the dressing and stir together.  Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl. Stir to combine. I prep this a couple hours (at least) ahead of time to let the flavors really marinate and smooth out, but you can eat immediately if its just too tempting!  Store covered in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
