How to Make an Easy German Cucumber Salad in 10 Minutes

Cucumbers are great additions to most salads. They are crunchy, mildly sweet, and a bit watery. They offer many health benefits in addition to their delightful and soothing properties.

Cucumbers purportedly help to:

• Hydrate and cool the body
• Flush out toxins
• Maintain skin and eye health
• Aid weight loss

This German cucumber salad is a very easy and simple dish that can be made in a jiffy. Crunchy cucumbers are complemented by a mildly spiced, creamy dressing, producing a cold salad that is delightful in the summer—or anytime!

Ingredients

• 1 medium cucumber, washed, thinly sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
