Asian Cucumber Salad

This is a fun little recipe that uses not too many ingredients and is refreshing on a hot day or with a hot dish!
The easiest way to deal with the cucumbers is 2 fold.
Option 1 is to use a food processor with a slicing blade – it definitely makes quick work of it, but also means extra clean up… For regular cucumbers, make sure to scrape out the seeds.
Option 2 is to use english cucumbers. No need to peel or scrape out the seeds.
