CUCUMBER SUMMER SALAD
Fresh From My Garden!!
This summer salad is always a favorite at my house, even when it is not fresh from our garden! We make this all of the time, and in big batches. Since one of my kids has a tomato allergy I simply make a different batch without tomatoes and it is still just as delicious! We use this for meal prep and make ahead dishes. Great for school lunches, great fresh cool taste. Experiment by adding a few mint leaves, feta cheese, olives, fresh dill, add it to your chicken sandwich with fresh tzatziki sauce. Yum, Yum!
