This Cool Cucumber Mint Salad goes so well with foods that have some heat. Serve it on the side with tandoori chicken, a Thai curry, a Moroccan tagine or even with a buffalo chicken pizza. I made it with my Curry Roasted Cauliflower and it cool your palate down perfectly from the hot spices.
Enjoy!
