Creamy Cucumber Salad
One of our favorite things about summer is a fresh cucumber salad. Bonus if the cucumbers come from a garden or farmer’s market! We love to slather a pita with from-scratch hummus and then stuff it with cucumber salad – it makes a standby lunch! We go back and forth between a cucumber and onion salad with a sweet vinegar dressing, and this creamy version with plain yogurt, radishes and dill. We love the pop of the red radishes and the bright flavor from lemon juice and fresh dill.
Mmmm, fresh ingredients. Love those little radishes!
