Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.

Step 3

Cut the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference, and transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and chili powder (if using) evenly over the cucumbers.

Step 6

Gently toss the cucumbers until all the slices are evenly coated with the lime juice and seasonings.

Step 7
