Vegan Cucumber Salad Recipes

Cucumber had her 15 minutes of fame last year, but it has always been an honored guest in my meal lineup. It is cooling, hydrating, and refreshing, with a low-glycemic impact on your body. That makes it perfect for summer snacking and drink making. I will be sharing three different salad variations, along with a refreshing summer drink that's perfect for the season. Sometimes you just want an easy no-cook snack or meal, and these easy cucumber salads can satisfy that craving.
