Chilean Cucumber and Carrot Salad

Debbwl's Note:

One of my co-workers used to come running in with a cucumber, couple of carrots, fresh lime and a jar of chili powder, she would slice the veggies and toss with the lime juice and sprinkle the chili powder every few bites or so as a way of having a quick on the run lunch without eating fast food.

I was looking for something quick and pretty healthy and this was it. Taste is very good for such a quick salad. DD (toddler) even said to say she likes it. I used peeled English cucumber because it was waxed, sea salt, no optional, plus the rest of the ingredients. Made for Veggie Swap 38 ~ September ~

Now just how simple can a cucumber salad be? This is a sure fire keeper, especially for these hot summer days. I considered adding some additional ingredients, but what for, it was fantastic just the way it was. delish!! another keeper.

This is an interesting little salad. It makes a nice, quick lunch without a lot of fuss. I think it might be good with a radish added. Thanks for posting!
