If you follow me on Instagram you know I love eating salads. My husband, however, not so much.
In order to avoid buying lots of different grocery items, we try to find ingredients we both love that we can use in different ways.
As far as greens go, Kris pretty much will only eat cucumbers, green peppers, and the lettuce in his burger (sorry babe!).
Luckily, I’m a fan of pretty much all greens so finding a recipe that works with those is easy.
Kris has always been a fan of cucumber salads, especially one he had at True Food Kitchen a while ago.
Since we don’t have a TFK nearby (we can’t wait til they open in Miami), we decided to make our own version of the cucumber salad.
I will admit, I’m not the biggest fan of the kitchen (I do love baking though) so Kris pretty much adapted the recipe on his own.
That’s also what sparked the idea behind the “In the Kitchen with Kris” series, because believe me, there will be more recipes!
With the 4th of July coming up and just the overall heat of the summer, we thought a refreshing cucumber salad was the perfect recipe to start with.
Check out the cucumber salad recipe below and let us know if you tried it! Would also love to see it on Insta so feel free to tag me or DM me.
