Cucumber Salad

When it is so hot outside, the last thing I want to do is stand over a hot stove or create heat with the oven.  So since getting back home from vacation in a lovely climate to Texas summer weather, I have only bought groceries that involve no heat.  This has also turned out to be a healthy move since we are eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies by staying in the sandwich, salad, and smoothies families.  I made this salad last night when friends came over for a pot luck grill out.  I had looked at a few new salad recipe ideas and ended up splicing a few together to create a nice summer salad concoction. It is cooling and a bit spicy at the same time.  Enjoy!
