Mexican Cucumber Salad with Lime and Tajin

Sun 30 August 2026

A very quick cucumber salad. Also, a great snack if you have an abundance of late-season cucumbers from your garden. Although it comes together in less than 15 minutes, it benefits from marinating for a few hours.

I am obsessed with Tajin. Whenever I find a new way to use Tajin, I do it. Additionally, after getting back from my Belgium Luxembourg bike trip, I have an abundance of cucumbers in my garden.

Ingredients

1 large cucumber
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Slice the cucumber into 1/4 inch slices.
Spread them on a plate, barely overlapping.
Add a splash of lime juice evenly over all the cucumber slices.
Sprinkle the Tajin seasoning evenly over them.
Finally, sprinkle a little salt evenly over the cucumber slices.
