Cucumber salad 🥗

This is a simple recipe from my childhood. My stepfather always made this growing up. We ate this as a side dish, as an appetizer, at cookouts,...even as a topper for other foods! He usually only did "Cucumbers & Tomatoes in Italian Dressing" but when I started making it myself in my late 20s I started adding onion because I'm obsessed with them! 😆👌 Then, in my early 30s a good friend made this at her home with the addition of green peppers as she had grown a lot of them that year. So now, my personal recipe has adapted to the inclusion of all of these wonderful foods! I also, play around occasionally with the dressing. 😎👍 This particular time I used a raspberry vinaigrette in place of Italian Dressing & I have also used regular vinaigrettes as well. This is always a nice addition to dinner or the cookout. And even as a midday snack! 👏🤤

Perfect match for my Pan Seared Salmon. Got the recipe from one of the food bloggers whom I admire a lot. If you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘

Super easy and refreshing dish that’s perfect for a quick side dish. The simple combination of sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar brings out the cucumber’s natural flavor, making it incredibly tasty. It pairs wonderfully with cold beer, making it a great choice for casual gatherings or a light meal! Plus, it gets even better when left overnight, so you can enjoy it the next day too.

Guys this is my personal salad because I like spicy food! And for me eggs with sardine and potatoes is great!! So feel free to add what you like. This salad is really adaptable💞💞💞💞💞

This is a nice, refreshing side dish for a summer meal. I use cucumbers from our garden when possible, but it's just as good with store bought.

Just a refreshing and wonderful snack or side dish everyone is sure to enjoy 😊

I was looking for something to go with a steak dish I was trying, called Japanese Steak Rice Bowl. (Japanese Style Steak Rice Bowl https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/4643016-japanese-style-steak-rice-bowl ) This Korean cucumber salad looked like it might fit the bill. It was perfect, really added a nice offset to the slightly sweet sauce on the steak. Now to be fair, I'm not a huge fan of cucumbers, it's a take or leave it kind of thing. But I tell you what, this thinly sliced English cucumber, in this light pickle was perfection. I used a medium hot red pepper powder, and it was not spicy. The flavors were fresh and just happen to be perfect with the steak. Without the lime juice, it had a very slight acidic taste, if you want it a tad more, use the lime/lemon juice also.

Quick summer salad to fix when cucumbers are in season!

First, let me say this delicious recipe is not my own. It belongs to my big brother Jase [aka grill-master on this site] Go ahead. Check him out. He's one hell of a great Chef!Additional ingredients were added from his original recipe but that's pretty much what you get when you allow ten six year old budding Chefs to run amock in your fridges crispers. Anyway, thanks Jase! My culinary students had a blast with your recipe and this is the second time they've made it in a week! Delicious!

"Rübensalat" This is a recipe from Sachsen - Anhalt in Germany . They made up for the times when there was not much meat to bring colour and variety onto their tables with vegetables.

This has become a go-to for weekly meal prepping. It's such a simple, but tasty recipe and adds a lot of freshness to a meal. I usually pair it with some quinoa or brown rice, some chicken or drained and rinsed chickpeas and some feta cheese. If you'd like to take some of the 'bite' out of the raw onion, soak it in some cold water for a few minutes first.
