Cucumbers contain plenty of water and are one of the best veggies to eat in the summer. It’s no wonder that cucumber salads are popular around the world. Here are three new ones to try today.
Israeli Salad
Chop tomato and cucumber, add vinaigrette dressing, and you’re done! It doesn’t get any simpler than this. You can make the salad even better with feta cheese and za’atar seasoning or use it as is in falafels and pita wraps. This salad is well-known throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
Chinese Cucumber Salad
Traditionally it’s made with cucumbers and a spicy mixture of sesame oil, peppercorns, and chili peppers. You can also make it with red wine vinegar and sesame oil and season with chili flakes.
German Cucumber-Dill Salad
Germans add a little sugar to the vinegar dressing and use it in their cucumber and onion salad. This makes the flavor unique and very interesting. Fresh dill is the herb used in this salad but you can easily replace it with oregano or tarragon fronds.
