Notes

Any cucumber can be used but I prefer the English cucumbers because they don’t have many seeds and are pretty much burp-less.

Why You’ll Love This Salad

It’s the ultimate refreshing dish for hot days, and it’s bursting with fresh flavors that just scream summer. The cucumber is crisp and hydrating, the tomatoes are juicy and sweet, and the celery adds a satisfying crunch. Then, the vegan mayo gives it a smooth, creamy touch without being overly heavy. The best part? You can easily adjust the creaminess and seasonings to your liking. It’s like a salad you can make your way, every single time.

Pro Tip: English Cucumbers = The Best Cucumbers

While any cucumber will do, the English cucumber is truly a salad MVP. Why? It has fewer seeds and a thinner skin, which means you won’t get that annoying cucumber burp afterward (we’ve all been there). Plus, it’s super crisp and refreshing—basically the ideal salad cucumber.
