If you're looking for an easy, fresh side dish, may I suggest this
Mediterranean Cucumber and Radish Salad. It's light and puckery and hints to warmer weather right around the corner... The original recipe used English cucumbers, I bought large waxed cucumbers and peeled them. And of course this would be amazing with garden cukes. The key to the best, biggest and brightest flavors is to mix this salad and serve it immediately:@)

The radishes add a pretty pop of color to the cucumbers, Lynn. I’m always in favor of a good cucumber salad to add a little crunch to my meal.
