I needed a vegetable side to go with dinner and we had a lot of cilantro and some leftover goat cheese, so this simple salad fit the bill pretty much perfectly!

I appreciate how quick and easy this is to put together. (Especially if you skip peeling and seeding the cucumber as I did.) And it's quite tasty as well!
