During these dog days of summer, this cucumber salad is the lightest, most refreshing salad you can make. Slicing the cucumbers with a mandolin is critical to the melding of the flavors and ultimately the success of your salad. But with only five ingredients, you surely cannot go wrong. Oh, and do use seedless cucumbers. I did not, as you can see, but it will also make a difference in the final salad.

Bon appétit!
