This summer time salad is delicious, healthy and easy to make. With just a few ingredients from your pantry you can have this on the table in 10 minutes. If you make it the day before or early in the day, everything blends together nicely. This recipe just keeps getting better everyday.
I usually keep this in a 1/2 gallon jar in the refrigerator. I wanted all of you to have a really good picture of just how wonderful this cucumber salad looks (taste even better).
Many people make a version with mayo. Which taste great, but has much more fat content and calories. Give this a try. Let me know how you enjoy it.
