Cucumber Salad

The weather has been a bit strange all over the country this spring.  One day I am bbqing, the next I am making soup to help warm up my bones.  Today it was warm, sunny, and beautiful.  Perfect for a cool summer type salad.  And many times I look at what I have in the fridge and just get creative.  This I must admit was inspired by a fantastic meal at Cafe Jerusalem on Evergreen street in downtown Vancouver.  While eating that amazing meal of Lamb Shawarma, tabouli salad, hummus, and pita, I pondered the ingredients in my fridge, as I often do.  You may be thinking I should be enjoying the moment, but believe me I was in the moment devouring that lamb.  That may have been the best plate of middle eastern food I have ever enjoyed! SO GOOD!!!!
