SOUTHWESTERN STYLE CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Mix everything together in a large bowl, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated. Cover tightly and refrigerate the salad for at least two hours or overnight if possible. The garlic adds a nice extra spicy touch, but the salad is just as good without it. For optimum flavor, prepare in the late summer when the produce is at its best, along with a cool pitcher of sangria and a nice piece of broiled fish.
