This is a dish that I would want to eat on a very hot day. You can use any Long Pasta OR Noodles of your choice, but I like to use Capellini (Angel Hair Pasta) because it can be cooked very quickly. Other than that, you don’t need to cook anything. Just mix all ingredients and enjoy it.

Tips

How to cut Cucumber into thin strips

Without a vegetables slicer, you can cut Cucumber using a knife into thin OR very thin strips. This is particularly good when you mix Cucumber with noodles.
