Arash Hashemi on Instagram: "🥒 Creamy Cucumber Avocado Broccoli Salad

If you’re looking for the ultimate summer salad that’s light, refreshing, and still filling, this is the one. It’s got crunch, creaminess, bold herbs, healthy fats, and a garlic-lime dressing that pulls it all together. Perfect for hot days when you don’t want to cook but still want something that tastes amazing.

This low-carb cucumber salad works great on its own or as a side with grilled chicken, shrimp, or even roasted chickpeas. Packed with fiber and flavor, it’s a Mediterranean-inspired salad you’ll want to make all summer long.

Here’s how I made it:

1. Thinly slice 4–5 Persian cucumbers (or 3 Japanese cucumbers) into half moons, coins, or sticks. Go thin so they soak up all the dressing.

2. Add the cucumbers

Elaine Gordon on Instagram: "VIRAL CUCUMBER SALAD 🥒 (but I’ve been making this recipe all summer well before it went viral) 🤍 Now that cucumbers are cool on Instagram + TikTok, I’m sharing again because this recipe really does deserve more airtime. I make it most nights right before I start dinner to tide me over while I cook. My daughter Riley fights me for every bite. It’s so addictive. You can throw it in a container like the viral recipe shows but I make and eat it right out of this mixing bowl. Cucumbers are high in immune-boosting vitamin C and they have a high water content which makes this a refreshing and hydrating side dish this time of year. They’re also high in fiber which makes them great for digestion/gut health. Plus, it’s just so flavorful. I can’t wait to hear what you
