Recipe for Cucumber Salad

My mom made this a lot growing up and it is a great way to use all those summer veggies, plus it is cool and refreshing on a hot day. I would love seeing a bowl of it marinating in the fridge on a hot summer afternoon. I love all the fresh flavors of summer veggies, and the apple cider vinegar gives it an added zing.

COOK’S TIP: You can easily morph this into a creamy cucumber yogurt salad recipe when you spoon it on some plain yogurt and sprinkle it with fresh dill.
