Lime & Cilantro Cucumber Salad Recipe

As summer comes to an end - this would be a great salad to put together for an end of the summer get together!  Cilantro adds so much flavor to this recipe. A must have for our family!
 

  Ingredients

1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cucumbers, very finely sliced (see photos)
4 tablespoons minced cilantro, to taste

Instructions
Dice the Jalapeno and garlic and add to a medium-sized bowl.
Add 3 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper.
Use a whisk to incorporate the 3 tablespoons olive oil. Set aside. Finely slice the cucumbers.
Use a mandolin if you have it, but a very sharp knife will do the trick.
Add the cucumbers to the dressing and stir together. Finely mince the cilantro and add it to the bowl. Stir to combine. You can either let it sit in the fridge to marinate for a couple hours, or serve immediately.

 Do you have any cucumber recipes that you love? I would love to hear different recipes you have made!
