Cucumber Salad Recipes
Cucumbers are a good source of vitamins' C, A and K. They are
loaded with potassium and low in cholesterol, sodium and
saturated fat. That's all the information you are going to get
from me on that subject. These are my own home recipes and I
wouldn't know where to start counting their calories. Relax,
enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Greek Salad Recipe
1 or 2 fresh-picked cucumbers 1 head of iceberg lettuce, torn
into bite sized pieces 3 medium sized fresh tomatoes, sliced 1
small red onion 1 green pepper, diced 1 red pepper, diced 1
pound Feta cheese ½ cup pitted Greek olives ½ cup pitted black
olives Italian herbal style dressing
Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
Crumble the Feta cheese evenly over the top of the salad and
then
add the olives on top of that. To keep the salad from
wilting, don't add the dressing until you are ready to serve.
Makes 4 large or 8 small servings.
Simple Cucumber Salad

vinegar 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Combine the vinegar and sugar in a medium sized bowl and mix
until sugar is dissolved. Toss in the cucumbers and voila! This
recipe can also be used with fresh tomatoes or for a real taste
treat, use both together.
