Cucumbers are one of my favourite vegetables – they’re so fresh and flavourful, and they make the BEST summer salads, like this Creamy Cucumber Salad! It’s perfect for picnics and barbecues, and it’s my number one choice for a fresh summer side dish alongside grilled chicken.
How to Make Creamy Cucumber Salad
Cucumber salad is always a family favourite, especially in the summertime, and it’s so easy to make! The one kitchen tool you’ll need is a mandoline slicer. My favourite mandoline is the OXO Good Grips Mandoline slicer – it slices thinly and evenly and it’s easy to use. Simply slice the cucumbers and onions on your mandoline slicer, mix together the dressing ingredients, toss everything together with some fresh dill, and serve!
