Cucumber Salad With Red Onion and Vinegar

This deliciously crunchy Cucumber Salad is so light and refreshing and just perfect for a hot summer picnic day. It’s a new favourite, that I’ve made over and over again.

I’ve had many recipes for cucumber salads made with vinegar, but this combination of thinly sliced crunchy cucumbers and crisp red onions is so refreshing. Plus, the dressing of rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and honey is more complex, almost Asian-inspired but also Western-style. The addition of sesame seeds adds a subtle nutty taste that mingle with all the flavours so deliciously.

can cucumber salad be made ahead

Cucumber salad is a great side dish to make hours before a big party or even the day before. It just gets better in the fridge, giving all that crunchy cucumbers time to marinate with the vinegar dressing. It’s best eaten within 2 hours, but it’s still good for a couple days.

what to serve cucumber salad with

Cucumber salad is the perfect side for just about any grilled meat – chicken, fish or steak or any meatless main dish. I love to pair this with another favourite of mine – carrot fritters. It’s super simple to assemble you can bring it to a summer BBQ or a picnic or cookout, but it’s actually good any time of the year, try it for an ultra healthy light snack pre-workout or late at night while watching a movie.
