The cucumber has never had too good public relations, not in comparison with other vegetables in the pan and certainly not in relation to its mythological partnership with the Israeli vegetable salad - the tomato.
Even the phrase for the most boring period in the media belonged to it - "Cucumber Season".
But the truth is that fresh and crispy cucumber is one of the most fun vegetables in a salad and even though it is with us all year round, in summer you will find the thinnest and tastiest cucumbers.
So before you rush to make pickles from them, it's time to savor them with this simple and easy salad.
