Yes, I know, what a title right? Cucumber summer chili recipe sounds disgusting. It’s actually a cold salad that tastes like chili. Hang around and check it out. It’s great for a summer weeknight light meal. We had it on a Sunday night when neither of us wanted to cook. The black beans filled us up and the lemon and lime gave us some flavoring. I decided not to use oil since I had an avocado in it. But, if you want to add a bit, you could.
