Greek Cucumber Salad

This Greek Cucumber Salad recipe is so easy to toss together and after you make it one time, you won’t even need a recipe to make it again. It’s that simple! You literally just toss the ingredients in oil and vinegar.

It is a great summer or spring dinner side dish if you’re grilling meat. We often marinate chicken in zesty Italian salad dressing and then grill them and eat this salad on the side. For extra protein, add chicken, tuna, or garbanzo beans, or tuna. Read our guide on How to Grill Chicken for the perfect, juicy chicken! If you don’t want to grill your chicken, our Baked Greek Chicken recipe would also be delicious in this salad!

This salad topped with grilled chicken would pair perfectly with our Copycat Zoe’s Braised White Beans with Rosemary. YUM!
