Cool as a Cucumber Salad
Cucumber Salad is a light and refreshing summer treat you can make in 15 minutes and enjoy for days to come. It gets even better as it marinates.
With just a few ingredients and a few minutes, you’ll have a healthy, delish dish you can feel good about!
Low-calorie, low-carb, low-fat, and sugar-free… it’s 100% guilt-free, Foodie.
With just the right amount of sweetness, this cucumber salad pairs perfectly with spicy dishes. But don’t stop there. Enjoy it with, or on, your favorite sandwich.
We like it alongside our Barbecue Pulled Chicken Sandwiches.
A Mandoline Makes Even Easier Work
A mandoline or V-slicer will yield even, thin slices. We like this one by Mueller as it’s very high quality and a steal at only $29.99.

Alternatively, you can use a good sharp knife.
