This cucumber salad recipe is one of my favorite summer salad recipes.
It is an easy summer salad, or any time of the year salad for that matter, and combines lots of healthy ingredients and fresh herbs.
Vegetable salad recipes are an easy way to add nutrition to your family meals.
I remember this kind of salad from my youth. It’s one my grandmother and aunt’s made often during the summer when cucumbers are plentiful. It was always appreciated.
