Step 1
Slice the 2 cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in a large bowl. Tear the 1/4 cup mint leaves into small pieces and add to the bowl.
Step 2
Zest the lime and set the zest aside. Juice the lime into a small bowl, then whisk in the 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined.
Step 3
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and mint, then toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and the reserved lime zest over the salad. Toss once more, then serve immediately.
