Mild cucumber salad with tomato and lime juice

Mild cucumber salad with tomato and lime juice

Japanese cucumber is a slender long dark green vegetable with slightly prickly exterior. It has less water and less seeds and thinner skin compared to the normal cucumber. It has a very mild taste. It is good for making salads and pickles and sandwiches. It is very similar to the English cucumbers.

Today I am going to make a very simple salad with only a few ingredients. You can prepare the salad with English cucumber too.
