This refreshing cucumber salad, made with lime juice and cilantro, is quick and easy to make and is great alongside steak or tacos.
Cucumber can also be thinly sliced into circles using a mandolin, if a different shape is desired.
3.22.18 Quick and easy salad for sure that was the perfect partner to some Korean Hot Wings, another recipe on this site. As another reviewer suggested, do mix up the dressing and then add your cukes. Just enough heat, not too much, the lime juice brightens the flavor, and really brings everything together. There are times when simple is best, and we enjoyed this recipe!

Easy and awesome salad! I tried this with and without the samba oelek; both are very, very good. The only thing I would suggest, if using the samba oelek, I would mix up the "dressing" and then add it to the cucumbers to get an even distribution. I used a spiralizer to cut my cucumbers. Thank you for the recipe.
This recipe sounded really promising, so I tried it out. I used a homegrown cucumber, which was on the smaller side. I used a vegghetti to spiralize it. Unfortunately I used a whole clove of garlic, which ended up overwhelming all of the rest of the flavors. I used the juice from half of a lime, I added a small mango and some sugar to offset the wicked sour taste. Next time I would consider using less garlic.
Made this last night. Super refreshing and zesty! Add some lime salt (buy at specialty spice shops) to it and wow!!!
My family really liked this flavor of cucumber salad. I will be making it as a healthy side dish this summer!!
My husband and I love this recipe! I think you will too! So simple yet so yummy!
Simple and delicious. Usually we don’t enjoy cucumbers and I had to cut another one. Didn’t use Chile paste because we didn’t have any. Excelent
This is amazing! I did add chopped onion, and I cubed the Cucumber. Great Recipe!
Light and refreshing. Omitted pepper flakes and samba oelek. Added powdered garlic and radishes.
WOW, was this every good! I don't know if I get to vote on it since I changed the recipe, but it is soooooooo good, I can't wait to finish it. I followed the recipe except I had to substitute 1/2 of the lime with lemon because that's all I had, and because I'm used to a creamy dressing, I added a big spoon full of mayo -- but it was outta this world!
It was good but needed more dressing I made a vinagrette with rice wine vinegar and a little sugar
