Lemon/Lime Juice: Juice of 1/2 a lime
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 2 teaspoons (optional)

Instructions
1
Wash four medium cucumbers thoroughly. Using a slicer or a sharp knife, cut them into thin slices and place them into a mixing bowl.

Cut one onion in half and slice it into thin horizontal strips. Add these to the bowl with the cucumbers. If you prefer, you can loosen the onion slices with your fingers.

Add the juice of half a lime and 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil. Mix these ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well-combined.
4
Finely chop a handful of fresh coriander leaves and add them to the bowl containing the cucumbers and onions.
5
Pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.

The salad is best enjoyed immediately. Serve it chilled for the most refreshing experience.
