One of the things my Mexican culture loves to snack on is pepinos con chile y limon (cucumbers with chili and lime). I absolutely love this snack, especially on a nice summer day with a cold beer in hand. My mouth watered just thinking of it...wooooo! So... this cucumber salad was inspired by this snack I love so much. Really refreshing and simple to make. Hope you enjoy!
Serves 4-6
Vinaigrette
3-4 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salad
2 cucumbers, sliced thin (use a mandoline if you have one)
1 cup red onion, sliced thin (use a mandoline if you have one)
2 tbsp cilantro, minced
In a bowl add all of the vinaigrette ingredients, whisk until it emolsifies and set aside. In another bowl add the salad ingredients. Pour in all of the vinaigrette and toss. Serve immediatley.
