Ensalada de Pepino y Calabacín (Cucumber and Zucchini Salad)
Brighten up your dinner with this refreshing salad that's quick, healthy, and packed with flavor!
Begin by washing the cucumber and zucchini well under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Next, using a knife, slice the cucumber into thin rounds and then slice the zucchini into thin rounds as well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber and zucchini slices.
Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the bowl with the cucumber and zucchini.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine everything evenly.
Allow the salad to marinate for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors before serving.
