I have a lime tree and I try to use lime in many dishes. Lime chicken, lime salads, Lime pies, cookies and so on. This lime salad had a nice crunch and a little hint of hot jalapeno chili. Cucumbers and avocado cool the hot jalapeno.

Salads do not have to be boring or served with store salad dressing. Fruit juices and chili, herbs and spice can create a nice natural salad dressing.
