When it comes to salad, you have to keep it interesting. A boring, flavorless salad isn’t going to be satisfying, which will leave you looking for more food shortly after. That’s why I like to experiment with using different ingredients in my salads, and that’s exactly what I did for this flavorful cucumber salad recipe.
Not only is this recipe a great summer salad alternative, but it’s also completely gluten-free, Paleo and vegan and vegetarian-friendly, too. Cucumber is naturally cooling, so eating this salad or other cucumber recipes in the hot summer months is a great way to prevent dehydration and overeating, while promoting detoxification and healthy digestion.
