Ingredients
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 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
How to Make
-
Step 1: Dice the jalapeno and garlic and add to a medium-sized bowl.
-
Step 2: 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.
-
Step 3: Finely slice the cucumbers. Use a mandolin if you have it, but a very sharp knife will do the trick.
-
Step 4: Add the cucumbers to the dressing and stir together.
-
Step 5: 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.
