16 Oh SO yummy cucumber salad recipes to make this summer – or all year long!
I SO love cucumbers! Especially when they’re cold – and in a salad! Being that it’s summer cookout season, I took a long stroll around Pinterest to collect some fresh cucumber salad recipes to try out.
Only 16 or so made the cut as cucumber salads I WILL make again – below are my favorites (and many thanks to the wonderful food bloggers who share their amazing recipes!)
If you know me, you KNOW that I am a Pinterest fanatic – I love it so! I have the best time collecting really yummy recipes to share here with you.
I’ve shared everything from my favorite make ahead side dishes…
to cheap meals I make my picky eater husband!
There is SO much within Pinterest – so it’s easy to not see – or FIND – the REALLY good stuff.
That’s what I do =)
So let’s get into the REALLY good cucumber salad recipes that I consider the BEST to make.
We are all familiar with the classic cumber salad – some fresh cucumbers, some onion, some vinegar and it’s done – and it’s GOOD!
But how about some unique cucumber salad recipe variations?
Things like blueberry and cucumber – shrimp and cucumber – corn and cucumber – peppers and cucumber… even SPICY cucumber – yep, REALLY unique flavor combinations, right?
That’s the kind of cucumber salad recipes I wanted to try to change things up a bit.
