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.

Wendy, I love the Indian flavor twist on your salad! While I'm not overwhelmed with cucumbers, this is a great excuse to go buy some! Can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteI have very generous neighbors LOL.
DeleteI just told myself that I didn't need to go to the farmer's market tomorrow...but I guess now I need to go...because I have zero cucumbers. And now, I really want to make this salad!!! YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, Colleen.
DeleteDarn it, I finished my cucumbers yesterday. Guess I'll have to hit the farm again this weekend. And I'm heading to check out the Cucumber Cashew Salad too, that sounds right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a good combination.
DeleteI so get "overloaded with cucumbers every year!" Great solution!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, Inger.
DeleteI can have the entire bowl. This is a refreshing one to have during summer.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't last long.
DeleteCucumbers are one of my faves. This salad looks super creamy and delicious.
ReplyDeleteAnd easy too.
