Do you have loads of cucumbers popping up in your garden? Did you visit the farmer’s market and grab a big bag of cucumbers? If you said yes to either of these questions, then boy do I have the recipe for you!

Perhaps you have a family favorite cucumber salad recipe in your back pocket, and that’s great! I remember my grandma having a bowl of it in the fridge nearly at all times during the summer, and her version had a fabulous vinegar-based dressing that was just the right amount of “tart”.

I am also a huge fan of the creamy version of this salad, which not only has lots of cucumbers, red onion and fresh dill, but has a dressing made with Greek yogurt, olive oil, pickle juice or vinegar and garlic. If you’re looking to knock the sodium down a bit, I’d choose the vinegar over the pickle juice. Either way, this cucumber salad will become a new family favorite!
