I liked it by adding the radishes and avocado. The avocado added a yummy creamy texture to the crunch of the cucumber and radish.

This salad was delicious! My meat-and-potatoes husband ate most of it in one sitting :) I might try it with the suggested arugula next time.

Well I tried this with regular cucumbers and it was absolutely hideous. And I used a top-of-the-line balsamic vinegar and two avocados and still didn’t help any

My mom gave me some cucumbers from her garden so I went looking for ideas last night and came across this recipe. It turned out AMAZING! Since the cukes were standard ones and humungus I used only one. I spiralized it with my KitchenAid spiralizer and sweated it with a little salt for about an hour. Also to make a light but full meal, i doubled the sauce to marinate and bake some tofu sticks and I threw in a little extra Italian seasoning. I did add the cherry tomatoes and radish but left out the arugula. Thank you for sharing, this is a great recipe!!

Ok, this is delicious and so so easy to make. I used standard cucumbers from my garden as that’s what I have an abundance of right now. I did use the specialty balsamic that I love that is manufactured by Veronica Foods and sold by lots of independent oil and vinegar stores. I cut down oil to two Tbsp and vinegar kept at 2 Tbsp. Good shake of salt and grind of pepper. Two yummy cloves of German red garlic, avocado, fresh sungold tomatoes from my garden, and a small handful of arugula. It’s divine, delicious, and a new easy favorite.

In summer I grow “pickling cucumbers” or buy them at the farmer’s market. They are absolutely the best tasting cucumbers you will ever eat. They will be delicious in Gaby’s Cucumber Salad. Thank you!

This was fine! Next time I will make less dressing and replace some of the balsamic with red wine vinegar. For me, there was just a little too much balsamic and too much dressing overall. Most of it was left in the bottom of the bowl.
