Fresh Cucumber Dill Salad 🥒🌞
Before we know it, we’ll have loads of garden fresh cucumbers hangin’ out at our place since we just planted a big veggie garden this year.
I should take some pictures to share but to be transparent, it’s nothing visually spectacular (functionally spectacular thanks to mother nature), mostly just functional while simultaneously trying to keep all of our dogs out of it. 😜
A version of this cucumber dill salad or something very similar will be on our dinner table every single night throughout the summer to enjoy and use up the fresh herbs and produce.
If you don’t have a veggie garden at home, no worries, hit up the farmer’s stands and markets this summer!
There’s nothing quite like the flavor of locally grown, vine-ripened produce!
Support your local economy, and hopefully save yourself some money while you do!
I truly adore creating and serving freshly chopped salads throughout the Summertime BBQ season when ingredients are extremely FRESH and plentiful.
I’ll often double or triple my chopped salads, to easily feed a big group.
This Salad is very versatile, so if there’s something here you don’t like or don’t have on hand, then leave it out then just add in something else.
The addition of fresh dill in this salad really elevates the flavor.
You can use any fresh herbs you personally love to create your own summertime masterpiece.
Often simple things are the most beautiful and this Fresh Cucumber Summer Salad ABSOLUTELY reflects that!
🔪Do you like chopping veggies?
I’ve found it to be very relaxing for me.
Chopping veggies forces me to slow down, calm down, and be present. It’s incredibly soothing after a busy day and the finished result always makes me feel a great sense of accomplishment because my family will be eating all of these beautifully prepared fresh vegetables.
