Cucumber Salad

 

Cucumber Salad

This is my own creation. I first started with basic cucumber salad recipes I found but just added the ingredients I like. My daughter, Jamie, loves it and I do too! It's just really refreshing and you feel good eating it, knowing it's healthy and good for you. It will go with just about any kind of meal but is also a fresh, cold salad for summer.
