TACO-CUCUMBER SALAD

Taco-Cucumber Salad image

I'm living in France right now, and my parents sent me a care package including taco seasoning mix! Tonight I was trying to figure out what to do with the 2 cucumbers someone sold me by mistake (I guess when you run out of courgettes you just sell cucumbers?!?!) because I'm not a big cucumber fan. I figured it couldn't hurt. Mmm. Tangy. Warning: do not try this if you don't like sour. I didn't add any sugar at all. Warning 2: I don't measure, I eyeball. I'll list ingredients, but it's up to you how much to add.
