Usually, cucumbers are relegated to a supporting role in salads and other dishes. Finally, with Cool-as-a-Cucumber Salad, they get a chance to really shine! Their natural juiciness and subtle sweetness are a great contrast to sharp red onions! And of course, a tangy and simple vinaigrette helps to make the most of the humble garden veggie! Cool-as-a-Cucumber Salad isn't here to brag, but to play it cool and give cucumbers the lead!
