Cucumber Salad

"When summer rolls in and the temps start to rise, I’m always on the lookout for something refreshing, easy, and light to serve with lunch or alongside dinner from the grill. That’s when I found this simple Cucumber Salad recipe on the kitchn’s website. It’s crunchy, tangy, and tossed in a quick homemade dressing that hits all the right notes—sweet, sour, salty, and a little zippy from the vinegar. You’ll see the original recipe called for red onion but since I don’t really care for red onion, I used sweet Vidalia onion instead. If you’ve never made a classic Cucumber Salad before, this is the perfect one to start with. It’s made with just a handful of ingredients, but each one pulls its weight. Think crisp cucumbers, sweet onion for a sweet crunch, and a light dressing that comes together in minutes. Why You’ll Love This Cucumber Salad Perfectly simple – Nothing fancy here, just fresh ingredients and a quick vinaigrette. Pairs with everything – Grilled chicken, burgers, fish, or even just a sandwich. Make-ahead friendly – It tastes even better after sitting in the fridge for a while. Cool and refreshing – Great for hot summer days or backyard BBQs. This Cucumber Salad is one of those go-to sides you’ll find yourself making on repeat all summer long. It’s a classic for a reason—fresh, crisp, and downright refreshing. Whether you’re bringing it to a potluck, setting it out at a BBQ, or just making something simple to go with dinner, this salad fits the bill. Looking for more summer salads?
