Quick and Easy Summer Snack!
Categories: (Food, General) by Lisa Ruggles on 29-07-2008
The other day, I was trying to think of an easy side for dinner. Something that didn’t take much time but was delicious. I remembered my mom’s yummy cucumber salad. Here is a recipe that won’t take you longer then 5 min. to throw together!
Unless you chop like molasses. 
Cucumber Salad
2 Cucumbers
Large handful of cherry tomatoes
1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar (you can also use Apple Cider vinegar)
1 Tablespoon honey
Salt and Pepper to taste
Put your vinegar in a bowl, add the honey, stir it up. Add sliced cucumbers and tomatoes to the vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. I like to let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours, it lets the flavors mingle.
You can change this recipe so much. If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, just cut up whatever type you have. If you like it less tangy just add a little more honey.
Here’s another variation: Sometimes after it has set in the fridge for a couple hours I will drain the salad, and then add approx. 1 Tablespoon of Sour Cream. This is also delicious!
ENJOY!
Hi,
My mom used to make cucumber salad for us to eat with dinner when I was little, she didn’t put honey in it though. I am going to have to try that, it sounds good.
I made a cucumber salad the other night and put celery, black olives, mushrooms, and ranch dressing in it…it was good.

See this looks great, but I would have to leave out the cucumbers and tomatoes and then there isn’t much left. I do like balsamic vinegar though.
Here’s our household favorite:
chopped cucumber, green pepper, roma tomatoes, however much of each you like sprinkled with garlic salt and pepper. let it sit in the fridge and the salt will pull juices out of the veggies to make a “dressing”. great with all thing grilled (burgers, brats, chicken, ribs, etc…)
