My children adore this lively, refreshing salad—especially since cucumbers are their favorite vegetable! Crisp, hydrating, and naturally cooling, cucumbers are over 95% water and contain compounds like cucurbitacins and flavonoids that offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Paired with fresh mint, this salad is the perfect way to cool down on warm days. Serve it alongside baked chicken, grilled fish, herbed rice, or a bowl of summer beans. It also makes a lovely topping for grain bowls or tucked into lettuce wraps for a vibrant, crunch-filled meal.
