I am loving salads right now. I started off eating them because they're healthy and I was trying to incorporate more vegetables into my diet. But now I crave salads. And not the kind with wilted iceberg lettuce. No way. Mostly I just love arugula sprinkled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, maybe some cherry tomatoes, and then feta crumbled on top. But this cucumber salad is perfect for summer. It is very light; the dressing is extremely tasty; and it stays crunchy. What more could you want?
Lemony Cucumber Salad
1 cup thinly sliced radishes
1/2 cup finely chopped orange bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 & 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl. Combine lemon rind and next five ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Pour dressing over cucumber mixture; toss well to coat. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
