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. 

Fresh Cucumber/Tomato Salad with Mozzarella Cheese

Cucumber Tomato Salad

1 lg cucumber (sliced or cut into squares) I like to use English cucumbers but it's great with either kind

Grape tomatoes, cut in half

Sweet Vidalia onion or red onion (that's been soaked in cold water), cut in ½" small squares

Fresh mozzarella (or block) cut into small squares

1 Can garbanzo beans (chock peas) drained & rinsed

2 garlic cloves, diced/chopped

Salt and pepper

Sauce

Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

Lots of dill (fresh or dried)

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Salt and pepper

Fresh lemon juice

1 tsp sugar

Optional: Avocado, diced or sliced, A little mayo

Mix the vegetables and cheese together and stir in the sauce.
