Cucumber's crunch is irresistible, and when served cold they’re downright refreshing. They make for such beautiful summer salads, whether paired with lettuce, watermelon, cantaloupe, herbs, whole grains, or tomatoes and onions. And they’re wonderful as is, simply sliced and sprinkled with a little flaky salt — one of my easy, go-to, family-friendly summer sides on busy weeknights. #cucumber #cucumbers #storagehacks #storagegtips #kitchentips #cookingtips James Beard Foundation, Fridge Shelves, Summer Sides, Flaky Salt
