Cucumber is such a fresh, crisp ingredient. Perfect for summer, and sometimes regretfully underused in my kitchen. But recently, I’ve discovered more of an appreciation for the cooling crunch of cucumber–and of cucumber salad.
I, for one, am a lover of balsamic vinegar. The unique tang of this ingredient adds just the right flavor to salads, my coveted bruschetta, even marinades. It’s also the star of today’s recipe!
It’s certainly heating up out there! And this past Monday (Memorial Day for those of us in the United States) was no exception. Some of my family gathered for a picnic, so it was definitely time to break out the barbecue food!
