Cucumber Salad

As summer wraps up, my home garden is yielding an enormous amount of cucumbers.  Practically every day, I walk outside to find a new one hanging from a vine and ready to be picked.

Being the veggie-loving girl that I am, I can eat…a lot of cucumbers.  Fortunately, there are tons of ways to use them–pickling, salad, appetizers with hummus, or this recipe, a light, healthy cucumber salad.  Toss fresh cucumbers with dill, vinegar, and enjoy as a healthy snack or summer side dish.
