Cucumber Salad

With cucumbers in season, this is a wonderful dish to make for a light lunch or for a side for dinner. I am sure your friends would love it for a side dish at a gathering as well! Super simple to throw together, the longer it sits to marinate in the refrigerator the better the flavor! Kid approved also, so have it on hand for a snack when they arrive home from school. I had this all three days for my 3 Day Refresh Cleanse I do every so many months. One of my favorite recipes from it! Look out for a blog where I share my results but for now you can check it out here to learn more.

You will need the following ingredients to put together this simple yet flavorful dish. Full recipe below to print out.

First, chop up all the ingredients and measure them out. Then combine the apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil together. In a separate bowl combine your cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, parsley and salt.

Now you just need to drizzle the dressing over the veggies and it is ready to eat, but I suggest letting it marinate with all the flavors in the refrigerator for at least an hour for the best flavors!! Enjoy!

If you are using the Portion Fix Containers to help balance out your food groups and keep your meals portioned out for a healthy weight, this recipe counts as a vegetable so use your green container to measure it out! 🙂
