The other week I made those delicious Guacamole Burgers.

And I made this Cucumber Salad for a side dish.

I added some cilantro and lime juice to tie the flavors together with the Guacamole Burger

Cucumber Salad is a quick and super easy side dish that adds some extra veggies and nutrition to your meal.

There really isn't too terribly much to talk about regarding this cucumber salad. It adds a fresh, tasty, tangy component to your meal.

I used a regular cucumber; you can use an English cucumber if you want. There's about half of a red onion in there, too.

You can use feta cheese or cotija cheese. I used feta because that's what I had, but I would probably use cotija if I had it.
