Fresh Cucumber Salad Recipe
This cucumber salad is perfect for hot days—it's refreshing, tasty, and requires minimal effort, which is great for summer cooking. It's one of the easiest summer side dishes and, in my opinion, one of the tastiest. Cucumber salad is super refreshing and pairs well with almost any main course. Packed with Persian cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, a bit of feta cheese, chickpeas, and a mix of fresh herbs, my recipe brings loads of fresh flavor and crunchy goodness to the table!
