Cucumber Salad
Cucumbers are one of my favorite summer vegetables.
During my July vacation, I spent some days with my mother in law. She loves making cucumber salad. Her salad is so good, because she used to add a big tablespoon of crème fraîche (sour cream). I know i’s not really healthy, but it’s so delicious.
Today I want to share with you a healthy cucumber salad, very elegant and simple.
Crispy, refreshing, it’s perfect for summer!
You have no time to cook? It’s ready in 10 minutes!
Ingredients :
- 1 cucumber
- 50 gr (1/2 cup) sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon champagne wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- pepper
Directions :
- Peel cucumber to leave alternating green stripes. Slice the cucumber in half lengthtwise. Scrape the seeds out with a spoon. Cut into very thin slices.
- Combine vinegar, oil and salt in a medium bowl. Add the cucumber and the sliced almonds, toss well to combine evenly. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!

This salad looks so refreshing!
I’m with you on the loving cucumbers thing! I adore them and my husband hates them . . . more for me. I love any kind of cucumber salad, with sour cream, without sour cream, Thai style, whatever. Yours looks and screams delicious and summer fresh!
Your cucumber salad looks so FRESH and tasty.
Very refreshing and summery salad!
My husbands loves cucumber salad. What a great idea to add almonds!

Wow…this cucumber salad looks like a dream! I think I can swim in it! So simple! However, would you suggest anything else besides champagne wine vinegar the dressing?
Thanks Cher:) I suggest that you add some strawberries 😉
