Cucumber salad is the quickest easiest vegetable side dish around. It is healthy and goes with just about anything. I love this next to grilled chicken, fish or beef.

This cucumber salad gets better as it sits. Make this several hours ahead of time and leave it at room temperature. It will last several days in the fridge.
