Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad

July 26, 2019 By Patricia 26 Comments

Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad is a delightful salad that comes together in minutes. Serve this simple dish anytime.

Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad is a delightfully simple dish. You'll love the fresh flavors in this salad.

I’ve had a few total recipe fails recently, which was my inspiration for sharing something that’s super simple to make. I think that once you taste this cucumber salad, you’ll swoon!

There’s nothing worse than spending several hours on a project (or two) only to have it turn out sub-SUB par. Translation: I could salvage a few bites from each of my recipe fails, but no way would I serve either. They weren’t even difficult recipes, which bummed me out even more.

Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad is a treat anytime. This salad is easy to make and the ribbons are a fun twist!

No sweat. I’m staying cool as a cucumber, folks. Ha! I couldn’t resist. Who doesn’t love cucumbers? They have such a unique and refreshing flavor.

I love adding cucumbers to water and if you do, too, check out my Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water. Cucumbers pair well so many things: hummus, ranch dressing, salmon. I could go on, but let’s talk about this salad!

Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad is a fabulous side dish for any meal. This simple salad is so easy to make.

I used a great kitchen gadget to make Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad. If you don’t have a special spiraling gadget, you could easily use a vegetable peeler to simply peel the cucumber into thin strips down the length of the cuke. Or, use a mandolin to slice them thin. You could also go old school and use a knife and your patience to slice thin rounds.

Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad is an easy-to-make salad. You'll love this side with any meal.

I also made Zucchini Pasta with Fava Beans and Harissa Sauce using my spiral gadget. It’s really a fun addition to the kitchen.

You only need a few ingredients for this delightful salad: cucumbers, some carrots and red onion, and a super-simple dressing that is sweet and tart. Toss it together and pop in the fridge for a bit. Pull it out and shake some red pepper flakes over the top along with some feta cheese, and BAM!

Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad is your go-to salad when you need something quick. You'll love the flavors in this salad.

Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad makes a great side dish for just about any meal. I hope you try it when you need something delicious and easy to make.

Sweet and Tangy Cucumber Ribbon Salad is a delightful salad that's great anytime. You'll love the flavor from the cucumbers and the simple dressing.

    This is one of our favorite salads, we cannot get enough of it! I love it when cucumbers are in season and on sale, I'll by a huge quantity and make this. We must go through 2 gallons of this a season, and we still crave more!

I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
