Cucumber Salad Recipe
This particular salad my niece, Lisa, made and shared with me years ago. Now it’s one of our family favorite recipes. I love the option of either spiralizing the cucumber, or you can use a mandolin for thinly sliced cucumber.
But one thing I love about spiralizing is that it removes the center of the cuke, the yucky seeds and the mushy part!
The dressing is uper easy, too –1:1:1—water, white vinegar, and sugar.
Make sure that you have a good cucumber. I always take a quick bite. There’s nothing worse than a bitter cuke!

What if I only have balsamic vinager red??
Balsamic (red) is not the right vinegar for this salad! But you could always try it :)

I absolutely loathe cilantro – any ideas for a substitute?
Never tried, basil, but it could work?
I have made this several times it is a crowd pleasere. Hubby and I were just talking that for those who don’t like cilantro mint would be good. Kinda like a mojito. Maybe add a little rum for an adult kick!
Mmm, those ideas sound great!
i’d dice the cukes and add jalapenos, then it would be perfect. i’m not into spiralizing, but i AM into heat + sweet!
I followed the recipe exactly as directed, but mine turned out really soupy. Is that how it’s supposed to be? Or is the dressing supposed to be a light coating? Thanks for any input.
It shouldn’t be too soupy, my guess is it depends on how large the cucumbers are. Either way, it should be delicious!
For anyone watching carbs, I reduced the sugar to 1 tablespoon and while it was tart, it was still delicious! I have made it both ways. Thank you for an awesome recipe!!
Good to know. Thanks Kristen!
My garden is my favorite place as well! This recipe looks super easy to whip up as a side or even main dish.
I need to get a spiralizer. This looks good. I love combining cucumbers with vinegar and oil along with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or leave out the salt and use garlic salt. My mom used to make cucumber salad with a light sour cream dressing that was always a favorite.
