I’m headed to Vegas this weekend – I think every time I tell someone I am going to Vegas they get really excited. I don’t drink, gamble or party so I don’t really understand the obsession with Las Vegas although I do really enjoy eating and watching Cirque du Solei shows so I have that going for me.
Anyhow onto Asian cucumber salad. This has been a new go-to favorite its quick and easy to make, delicious and healthy – serves as a good side or a snack to get through that afternoon hump. I like to add a little bit of kick to my dishes so I topped off my salad with some chili flakes, but if chili isn’t your thing no worries leave it off!
