I don’t know about you, but I just love a lime-cilantro dressing and this one is fantastic over this cucumber salad!
It’s a refreshing side salad to just about any meal, but especially when eating Mexican food or a bbq. Thinly slice your cucumbers - I spiraled them once and didn't love the texture. Remove seeds if you are sensitive to them...
Serves 8
