Cucumber Salad with Red Onions and Feta
Health Fun Fact
I made this whole salad using cucumbers grown for my garden! I can’t describe the simple joy that I got from picking 2 cucumbers from my garden and making a salad with them 🥹 Having a garden has been an amazing way for me to connect with nature and ensure that I know where (some) of my food is coning from, and I encourage anyone considering it to start a garden too - no matter how small!
Add this refreshing and delicious cucumber salad to your summer salad rotation! Made with only a few simple ingredients, it’s such a good side for any dish, and it takes only 15 minutes to make! I served mine on a bed of micro-greens as a side to homemade chicken wings.

*note: I used a mandolin to get both my cucumbers and my red onion thinly sliced. I personally love my mandolin and think it’s a kitchen tool worth getting (especially since it’s pretty cheap) since I find it hard to hand cut slices that thin by hand — but if you think you got it then go for it!
