My mother used to make a similar recipe when I was younger. I was never able to get the recipe from her so this is the best recreation of it.

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 🙏🏻😊😘

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! 👏🤤

This is the most simple side to come along. Mom is (and now I am) famous for it.

This is a summer salad but you can make it any season or any occasion! It’s going to be delicious!!

The only thing i do differently on the recipe is i use one large seedless cucumber, around 12" and omit the tomatoes. Very tasty side dish, enjoy!

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.

I decided not to garden this year. Thankfully, I have a generous neighbor who provides me with the bounty from his. He provides the cucumbers, I provide the salad. Sounds like a good tradeoff to me.Cucumber salad is cold, refreshing, and perfect as a side to any BBQ dish, but perfectly good on its own. A glass of rose doesn't hurt.

A recipe from my mom who's from Stuttgart :) German cucumber salad marinates the cucumbers and other veggies in a vinegar-heavy dressing so it's rather tart and super refreshing in the summer. Also no oil so very healthy!

It only takes 10 mins to add one more flavorful dish on the table 😉

It was fun spending some time with Eriko this morning. She was hungry, so I thought it'd be a good idea to make a comforting breakfast to show her my appreciation for letting me stay in the house. The weather was springlike; the kitchen was filled with light, and from where I cooked I could see the beautiful sunlight. Porridge and some refreshing salad always made a perfect combo for a day like this. Eriko devoured it with enthusiasm!

I finally found out from Cookpad member Maria why Hungarian cucumber salads taste fresher than anywhere else in the world, and made her recipe. Tastes delicious. Here it is.
