When we made plans for a cookout with friends last weekend to celebrate Christian’s birthday, I knew I had to find a cucumber salad. It’s one of his favorites. I never make it. Another one of his favorites, cilantro. The recipe below was a no brainer. And it was an instant hit.
Recipe from The Food Charlatan

Head on over to her blog to read how to make it!
My only modification was to double the recipe. I had ten mouths to feed, and this produced enough for everyone.
In party celebration mode, I forgot to take photos. Good thing Pinterest is filled with them!
Another great summer salad for our weekly rotation!
