Indian Cucumber Salad #Farmer'sMarketWeek

Indian Cucumber Salad

We are celebrating Farmers Markets all week long......

Jolene of Jolene's Recipe Journal invited us all to join her this week to share some of our favorite ways to serve up the fresh bounty.  Monday, I grilled up some Fresh Cabbage.  Let's see what everyone is sharing today......

Cucumber Salad

We are overloaded with cucumbers every year.  We eat them nearly every day in dishes like this Cucumber Cashew Salad, Polish Dill Pickles, and my Pop's Refrigerator Pickles.

This delicious, creamy salad paired perfectly with Grilled Tandoori Chicken.  It is made with yogurt and flavored with lemon, mint, and cumin for a fresh, light side-dish for whatever you are serving.
