I am sharing my recipe for a simple yet delicious cucumber salad.
I’ve long been a fan of cucumber salads, especially when the summer cookout season rolls around. They’re very simple to throw together, yet delicious and flavorful.
They’re also a great way to use some of the bounty of a homegrown cucumber crop. You know, once they come in you may feel overrun and be looking for ways to use them. Something to keep in mind as the garden season rolls from growing to harvest.

My husband I were just discussing the fact that we don’t eat enough cucumber salads! We buy them and then leave them languishing in the vegetable drawer. I will definitely be making this with the current resident cucumber before he gets too soft.
I’m very happy to have another cucumber recipe for this summer. Thanks.
I can just taste the tang from the vinegar!
Simple and quick salad and best as a side
Oh, I really like the mustard in this. Can’t wait to add it to my next cucumber salad!
A simple but refreshing salad. I usually add cilantro. Will try it out with parsley.
I love cucumber salads~
