How To Make A Simple Cucumber Salad

In the warmth of summer, we crave refreshing dishes. A cool cucumber salad is perfect for a midday snack or cookout side dish. Cucumbers have high water content, so not only do they taste refreshing on a summer day, they are actually refueling you. For a more colorful and nutritious salad, leave on the skin of at least half of the cucumber slices. There are many variations of cucumber salads, leaving room for interpretation with whatever recipe you choose to follow. Experiment with dressings and vegetable variations to keep the dish fresh. In this video, Chef Mark will show you how to prepare a cucumber salad in just a few steps. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
