This is one of the first recipes I posted on the blog back in 2012 that has been enjoyed by my friends and family for years. I love it because it’s simple, easy and always a hit.

I love it any time of the year, but it’s a perfect summer side dish with grilled fish or chicken, especially on a hot day!

I like to peel my cucumbers in this recipe, but it’s totally optional to leave the skin on. I use granulated sugar in the vinaigrette, but you can easily substitute honey for the sugar.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

I prefer this salad served immediately, but it can be refrigerated and served later. I would add the tomatoes and basil just before serving so that they don’t get soggy while stored in the fridge.
