Italian cucumber salad is a delicious, fast and easy summer salad recipe to make! You only need 4 main ingredients and a simple Italian vinaigrette.

This salad represents summer to me. It reminds me of the summer season and enjoying a summer meal with family. If you let the salad sit for a few minutes, it gives a chance for the flavours to marinate and the flavors of the tomato, cucumber and onion will absorb into the vinaigrette.

For me this is the best part of the salad because it is perfect for dipping bread into it!
