One of the ways my family saves big on groceries is by focusing on fresh, in-season vegetables. Each spring and summer, cucumbers are always sold at a discount, and this is great because it’s when they are most delicious. I love just slicing them and serving them with salt. We also love a house salad, and my kids enjoy dipping them directly in ranch dressing. But none of those are as fresh and delicious as this Healthy Cucumber Salad Recipe.
Enjoying Cool and Healthy Cucumber Salad
Cool and tangy with fresh dill (also an herb of the season), it’s everything you’d want for a hot day—and it’s healthy too! I even use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to add some protein.
