Common Questions:

Do I Peel Cucumber For Salad?

If you are using English or Persian cucumbers, there is no need to peel the skin. These types of cucumbers have thin skin that is mild in flavor. If using Garden Cucumber, most commonly sold at grocery stores, it is best to remove the skin. The skin of these cucumbers tends to be waxy, bitter, and tough.

How To Cut Cucumbers For Salad?

You can leave the cucumber peeled (the skin is high in fiber!) or peel the skin. Slice the cucumber by cutting it in half lengthwise and cutting the halves into moon-shaped chunks. Or, you can simply slice the cucumber into thin rounds by leaving the cucumber whole and cutting dials horizontally.

How Long Does Cucumber Salad Last In The Fridge?

This Detox Cucumber Salad can last in the fridge for 2-3 days. Because the cucumber is coated in a vinegar-based dressing, they will remain fresh. However, the cucumbers and tomatoes in the salad will release moisture over time, and the vegetables may become soggy. It is best to enjoy it right away or within 24 hours if you desire a crisp, crunchy cucumber salad.

Can I Make This Cucumber Salad In Advance?

Yes, you certainly can! The best way to make this detox cucumber salad in advance is to store the sliced cucumbers and vegetables in the fridge separately without the vinaigrette. The chopped vegetables should stay crisp for up to 2 days. When ready to enjoy the salad, combine the ingredients in a large bowl and toss until evenly combined.

What To Eat With This Detox Cucumber Salad?

You can enjoy the salad on its own, serve it as a salad at your next gathering, or pair it with your favorite meal at lunch or dinner! Here are a few great options:

    I was asked to bring a salad to a family gathering and I wanted to use my garden bounty. I came across this recipe and then I realized Mom doesn’t like cukes, tomatoes, or avocados, Dad doesn’t like artichokes or avocados, Daughter doesn’t like red onions or avocados, Sister doesn’t like bell pepper, wasn’t sure about
    Brother. I put the ingredients separately into a veggie tray so it could be customized. Perfect! The next day I wanted it for lunch so I added Feta, beans, and olives; the next day I picked beets from the garden, so added those. Versatile and delicious!

    Lovely salad! I didn’t have artichoke hearts, so I use beets from my garden! Very refreshing on a summer day.
