Notes

This Summer Cucumber Salad is incredibly flexible. You can add some cherry tomatoes for a burst of color and extra freshness. If you want to give it a little more crunch, try adding bell peppers or radishes. You can even add a handful of crumbled feta or goat cheese if you're a cheese lover.
