It’s summer! It’s hot, and I don’t want to turn on the stove. A friend of mine mentioned cucumber salad and I was inspired to search. I landed on this lovely salad on Eating Well. It’s fast, fresh, easy, and requires zero cooking. You can find the original recipe here.
In short, you slice cucumber and sweet onion thinly, wedge some tomatoes, and toss it all in a light rice vinegar dressing.
