Chicken salad cucumber bites
Ideal for lunch, brunch, appetizer, canapé or a simple snack, the little chicken salad cucumber bites are healthy and you can throw them together in under 10-15 minutes. They are just slices of cucumbers filled with chicken salad, but their simplicity doesn't take away from their tastiness.
You can make them ahead of time. Just make your chicken salad and chilli it along with slices of cucumber. If preferred, scoop the cucumber slices and just top them with the salad just before serving.
These pretty little bites were a creation of food I had on hand. I used leftover rotisserie chicken that no one wanted to eat again. I simply shredded the chicken and added mayo to it along with salt and pepper. The spread was yum. After topping the cucumber rounds with chicken spread, used the remaining for sandwiches!
The great thing about this recipe is the fact that it uses cucumbers as the vehicle for the chicken salad, which is a much healthier option than a couple of slices of bread.
You can omit mayonnaise and use yogurt instead as it is healthier and has a nice tang.
You can use or omit whatever fruit you like or don’t like. You can use the cheese that works best for you. As I said, I needed to clean out the fridge!

Salad bar at home Salad bar at home
The new virtual thing going around is people making salad bars in their refrigerator. Well I rent and have an older refrigerator, and i don’t have the room but think its a great idea. Then the snackle box come out and went viral and people started to do salads bars like this as well. This is how i came about doing this. I just use what we like. My teens likes chef salads so i try to stay with them ingredients.There’s also a women known as the salad bar mom who has a restaurant style salad bar in her house for her family of 11 , what is a great idea . so for me this style set up with my snackle boxes will have to do forMy family of 3 for now until i can afford a commercial prep station or my family gets bigger lol 😂My teens love this they can pick whatever just like at a restaurant, they say they feel fancy and its just like a restaurant just a mini salad bar.Since 2020 most of the salad bars and buffets are gone so this is a nice option. I noticed after I started doing this i dont miss them over price salad bars/ buffets and my family is eating more salads/ veggies if i have it like this easy and assessable.So far i have done this 3 times now and about on the 3rd day i have to restock it just depends on how many getting out of it and how often, i just do this for lunch time with 2 teens and one adult getting a salad so it does last.

Easy cucumber tomato salad Easy cucumber tomato salad
I don't like too tangy of cucumber salad. This salad is just right but I am sure that if it is too tangy you could add more water and if it is not tangy enough just add more vinegar.

Chicken Tender and Cucumber Salad with Umeboshi Mayonnaise Chicken Tender and Cucumber Salad with Umeboshi Mayonnaise
This is the recipe that is the basis for "Chicken Tender and Cucumber Shira-ae with Umeboshi Flavor". I didn't think it was worth posting as a separate recipe, but putting it in one recipe made it too long so I separated the recipe.I used honey marinated umeboshi that weigh about 15 g with the pits (the same ones I used forto make "Chicken Tender and Cucumber Shira-ae with Umeboshi Flavor"). Adjust the amount to your taste.This is delicious with the addition of julienned green shiso leaves mixed in or topped as a garnish. Recipe by Sabumochi -
Japanese-style Salad with Cucumber and Salt kelp Japanese-style Salad with Cucumber and Salt kelp
Cucumber has a lot of water so better to pat dry and then combine. The saltiness of the kelp and good flavor of sesame go well with this salad, especially cucumber.

Easy Summer Salad Easy Summer Salad
Everyone loves entertaining in the summer, but there may not always be time to prep a huge meal. Guests want to enjoy time with the host, not watch them slave in the kitchen. One of the easiest things to throw together is a great salad.I use this salad quite a bit when company drops by. The steps are easy to follow and it packs a lot of flavor. It pairs well with your summer chicken or fish dishes ... even burgers. The dressing, just three ingredients, is sweet, tangy and can be stored for a few days (just stir to refresh it). This recipe should serve 4 people comfortably.(Recipe correction: I originally stated to use globe tomatoes. These, while still tasty, will be too big for the plating of the salad. Please note the change to grape (cherry) tomatoes.)

Classic Chicken Salad Classic Chicken Salad
This is a classic basic chicken salad. The chicken is the feature. It’s roasted chicken to a perfect moist juicy start and then just some seasoning and mayonaise for really flavorful chicken salad. I served it here in pita bread but it's great in a salad or on toasted bread or a soft roll.

Upgraded Daikon Radish Salad with Canned Crabmeat Upgraded Daikon Radish Salad with Canned Crabmeat
I've been making this salad ever since I got married. My husband, my daughter, and all the guests I've served this to have told me that it's delicious.If you're going to eat this right after making it, you can omit the salt treatment step at the beginning to enjoy the crispy-crunchy texture of the daikon radish. Please adjust the amount of mayonnaise you use to taste. I think finely ground black pepper is better for this rather than the coarsely ground variety. If you use a high-end can of crabmeat this becomes a dish to serve to guests, but for everyday you can use an inexpensive can or imitation crab sticks instead. Recipe by Cha-miru
