Marinated Cucumber Salad
Marinated Cucumber Salad
This is my favorite summer salad. It’s the perfect side dish for summer barbecues and potlucks. My mom use to make this every year. We always had a large garden full of fresh cucumbers, and this was always our favorite way to enjoy them. This salad is so simple, and can be easily dressed up by adding more herbs and spices, or simplifying it. When my dad used to make it, when mom was at work, he just used cucumbers, salt, pepper and white vinegar. My mom had to add a fresh tomato and onion when she got home. For me, I had to add some feta, because nothing makes it “betta” than feta.
More ideas for things you can add are pickling spices, fresh herbs like dill, and other crunchy veggies. I’ve even added lots of different crunchy vegetables like carrots and celery, although i think my favorite was sliced radishes. The radishes make this spicy and delicious.
