REASONS TO LOVE THIS SALAD
This cucumber salad is a simple and delicious recipe, it’s creamy, refreshing and so flavorful.
It is quick and easy to make, just a few minutes, and this dish can be ready to serve.
This salad goes with just about anything and is a great side dish for any summer cookout or any time of the year! It pairs well with pretty much everything from grilled foods in the summer to hearty comfort foods in the winter, you can always start with a refreshing tasty cucumber salad.
I like to use English cucumbers since they are seedless and they have less water in them.
You do not need to peel the cucumbers, you can if you prefer to but it is thin enough that there is no reason to.
This salad is best served the same day as cucumbers can soften quickly, I would suggest preparing it no more than 1 hour prior to serving to it stays fresh and crisp. You could prep the dressing and let it chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.
Leftovers can be stored in an air-tight sealed container for 1-2 days, but my preference is to eat it on the day it is made.
