Cucumber Salad with Blueberries, Feta Cheese and a white balsamic dressing is a light and refreshing picnic side dish. It’s perfect to bring to a family gathering this summer!

This cool, crisp salad is another delicious and healthy side dish to add to your recipe box, along with Caprese Pasta Salad and Broccoli Salad.

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH BLUEBERRIES

Cucumbers are a pretty popular vegetable in our home- my kids eat them like they’re going out of style! These are an especially refreshing snack in the summer when it’s super hot outside and we’re just looking for healthy options that taste great.

Now I’ve seen a lot of cucumber salad recipes out there, and they tend to fall into a few categories. There are Cucumber Tomato salads. Asian-Inspired Cucumber Salads. And of course Creamy Cucumber Salads. All of these variations are seriously delicious, but I wanted to take this one in a slightly different direction.

You’ve got the nice crunch of your cucumbers. Sweetness from from the blueberries. And a nice, slightly salty zing from the feta cheese. Minced red onion and fresh basil add delicious flavor and white balsamic vinegar and olive oil make a simple but still tasty vinaigrette.

HOW TO MAKE THIS CUCUMBER SALAD RECIPE

  1. Peel the cucumbers, slice them in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and slice. The seeds can cause a little bit of indigestion which is why we usually just remove them. Chop the red onion as finely as you can and chiffonade the basil (I’ve got a great tutorial on the best way to do this!). Gently stir together the cucumbers, blueberries, feta cheese, onion, basil in a large bowl.
  2. In a smaller bowl, whisk together olive oil, white balsamic vinegar and honey until well combined and pour over the salad. Feel free to adjust the amounts to your liking. Sweet or sour can be a personal taste.
  3. Toss everything together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Be sure to taste as you do this.
  4. Devour!

What if I don’t like feta cheese?

No problem – you can easily substitute with goat cheese or crumbly blue!

Can you prepare cucumber salad ahead of time?

Yes, up to a day in advance is best because it allows toe flavors to blend together well. However, I do recommend leaving the cheese out and adding it just before serving. Store prepped cucumber salad in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

How to store leftovers:

Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Freezing this recipe is not recommended.

    Oh my goodness, after a trip to the farmer’s market I had lots of cucumbers, and lemon lime basil, Your recipe ticked all the boxes, the basil and feta made the blueberries pop. This will be a summer favorite in our house.
