Cucumber Salad


This cucumber salad is as simple as a salad gets, with just two whole food ingredients (without counting the dressing).

It’s filled with flavor, though, thanks to Herbes de Provence, a traditional blend of dried herbs from southern France that you can buy premixed in a spice jar.

Typically, the blend contains thyme, savory, oregano, and marjoram. Sometimes it also includes rosemary or lavender. No matter the approach, it’s incredibly aromatic.

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

It’s a simple combo of two healthy vegetables. Cucumbers are super hydrating, while tomatoes contain vitamin C and K, potassium, and heart-healthy lycopene.
