Strawberry Cucumber Salad

June 21, 2019 by Dinner Tonight

This Strawberry Cucumber Salad is the perfect summer time dish to bring to any BBQ or pot luck! This dish focuses on seasonal produce, bright and refreshing flavors, and really focuses on fiber!

When thinking of the Strawberry Cucumber Salad I wanted to create a dish that was going to be a light side dish to compliment any barbecue, crawfish boil, or summer get together! This dish is easily doubled to make enough for everyone. It also uses seasonal produce which means its a cost effective side dish this summer.

Have you had aguas frescas before?  Aguas frescas or “fresh waters” are a light refreshing beverage made from blended ripe fruit usually with sugar and water.  The Cucumber and Lime aguas frescas is a light beverage to help hydrate and add more flavor than your usual infused water.  The great thing about this recipe…NO SUGAR only natural freshness!
