Cucumber Herb Salad Recipe

It’s true: I’m on a major health kick right now. As soon as spring rolls around I immediately start craving the cool, crisp, and fresh flavors of seasonal produce. Salads have always been Lin’s specialty. Every time we’d return home from vacation to four ingredients in the house, he’d somehow manage to serve a salad that would make Salata jealous. While this makes me incredibly lucky, it also makes me a salad snob. I don’t settle for just any salad. In my opinion, a great salad has a surprising flavor combo and gives me all of the nutrients I need from a one-dish meal.

This one is soooo delicious!!!!
