Summertime Cucumber Salad the Way You Like It There’s something about summertime and cucumbers. By August, gardens and farmers’ markets are overflowing with them, and if you grow your own, you may be wondering what to do with all those cucumbers. Cucumber salad is an easy answer, but only if you like cucumber salad. Maybe you don’t like all the seeds. Maybe you’ve made cucumber salad that turned out watery.
