An abundance of fresh vegetables led me to try this Cucumber Salad for the first time many years ago. I wanted something a little different, so I scanned a couple of my cookbooks looking for a new dressing to try. I found this vinaigrette recipe in an old Cooking Light cookbook and it did not disappoint.
This salad was spicy and tangy and different from anything I’d tried in the past. My husband really liked it and my oldest son even requested more of it later as a snack. In the years since, I’ve made this salad many times and every time we make it, it gets two thumbs up. For an unforgettable meal, pair this salad with Easy Baked Falafel and impress your family!
