I love a cucumbers! But whenever I buy them they seem under-ripe and taste more like watermelon rind than cucumber. But lately, Wal-Mart’s produce has been on fire. Nearly everything I’ve purchased has been at the peak of freshness and ready-to-eat. Its been fabulous!
The cucumbers too have been outstanding!
It reminded me of this cucumber salad, my girl friend Amber once made for one of our summer cookouts. So I searched and searched for a recipe which seemed close to her’s. I combined a couple of different recipes and the result was close to what I remembered.
I’m going to have to make a large batch and bring it to my brother-in-law’s Fourth of July picnic!

This is a great hot summer day side dish!
Mmmm…what a refreshing and delicious summer salad! My girls would especially love it since they’re big fans of cucumber!
Thank you so much for linking up to last week’s “A Little Birdie Told Me…”. My apologies for the belated vist — with July 4 falling on a Monday, it threw my whole schedule off, and I’m just now making the rounds to visit the party-goers from that week. Best, Jenn
