Cucumber salad is a crowd favorite! This creamy cucumber salad bursts with dill, garlic, and tang! I used a crinkle cutter for the cucumbers to bring a little extra flair! I also love the tomatoes in it, for more of a summery vibe! It’s hard to resist! Between my husband, myself, and my toddler, we could eat this in one sitting! It’s the perfect side dish for a potluck or summer BBQ! Plus, if you grow cucumbers, then you know they often times grow in abundance! This is the perfect way to put your extra cucumbers to use! This is a dish that everyone loves and your whole family will be begging you to make for the next event!

Why is this salad perfect for a potluck or BBQ?

This dish is bright, fresh, and creamy which is the perfect contrast with some smoky pulled pork and juicy burgers! It’s also perfect for the summer when these fresh veggies are more readily available! This salad makes a great side dish or appetizer for any gathering though, year-round! We like to make this for home, just to enjoy whenever! It’s delicious!
