Cucumber Ribbon SaladAre you taking advantage of the BOGO sale on Hot House Cucumbers? You better believe that I grabbed a few while they are just $1 each!

I love cucumber in lots of different recipes and will have all of my cukes gobbled down in a few days. One of my all time favorite ways to use these babies is a Cucumber Ribbon Salad. While it looks fancy, it’s actually a super quick and easy to throw together. All you need is a vegetable peeler and a few key ingredients to put a tasty salad on the table in just minutes!

Yep, you don’t have to use a knife or whip out your mandolin to get perfect thin strips of tasty cucumber. Simply use a standard vegetable peeler and run down the length of the cucumber to create ribbons. Pile those ribbons on a plate and add some red onion, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, tomatoes and a few toasted pine nuts. For the final touch, drizzle the salad with a delicious vinaigrette. I love the Olive Oil Vinaigrette from Wish-Bone®. It enhances all the tasty ingredients and makes this salad pop with flavor!

With spring just around the corner, most of us will be looking for lighter, fresher food options. Salads are my go-to meal this time of year as I can whip up dozens of delicious recipes in a flash. Sometimes I stick to just veggies and then other times I’ll add meats or seafood. No matter what I pile on my salad, the finishing touch is always a tasty dressing. Thanks to the huge selection of Wish-Bone dressings available at Publix, I can change it up whenever I’d like.

Be sure to stop by Publix and grab a couple of cucumbers while they are on sale. Then stroll down the dressing aisle and pick up your favorite Wish-Bone varieties. Any good Italian or vinaigrette dressing will work great on this salad. With so many options it might be hard to choose just one! You can choose from a huge selection of dressings including their new Wish-Bone Extra Virgin Olive Oil Dressings and the Wish-Bone Ristorante Italiano line.
