TACO-CUCUMBER SALAD



Taco-Cucumber Salad image

I'm living in France right now, and my parents sent me a care package including taco seasoning mix! Tonight I was trying to figure out what to do with the 2 cucumbers someone sold me by mistake (I guess when you run out of courgettes you just sell cucumbers?!?!) because I'm not a big cucumber fan. I figured it couldn't hurt. Mmm. Tangy. Warning: do not try this if you don't like sour. I didn't add any sugar at all. Warning 2: I don't measure, I eyeball. I'll list ingredients, but it's up to you how much to add.

Tips:

  • For a refreshing and light salad, use English cucumbers or Persian cucumbers. They have thinner skin and fewer seeds, making them more enjoyable to eat raw.
  • To add a bit of spice to the salad, use a serrano or jalapeƱo pepper instead of the bell pepper. Just be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before chopping, so the salad isn't too hot.
  • If you don't have any taco seasoning on hand, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as chopped tomatoes, corn, or black beans. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole for extra flavor.
  • This salad is best served immediately, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
