I have been writing about the spices over couple of weeks now. And it is still going one. It was really surprising to see the long list of spices from all over the world. My research is still on going and I will be writing about it more in my future posts.

For today lets make use of those spice research and make something simple but yet tasty. You will be surprised how quickly you can make this recipe.  The recipe is so simple and easy that a lazy person like me was able to make it,that also after work.

The benefit of recipe is clear with the ingredients itself. Salmon is low in fat and calories but high in protein and omega 3. Cucumber has soothing and cooling effects with lots of other benefits. What better way to beat the heat than a cool slice of juicy cucumber.

I will be making it again in the weekend until I overuse the recipe. So lets make something tasty and cool for the weekend. Be ready for next spice tour in next posting.
