Salads are a summer staple for my family. They are easy to make and require no cooking. Summers in San Diego are scorchers so this is important. This Cucumber Herb Salad is very similar to my Cucumber Dill Salad but uses a variety of fresh, leafy herbs for flavor.
This salad goes really well with my Turmeric Grilled Shrimp recipe. That recipe isn’t 100% strict AIP. You’ll need to be able to handle a few introductions but the salad stands alone. It would be delicious with any grilled meat. We’ve been making this salad every time we grill outside this summer.
Cucumber Herb Salad
This Cucumber Herb Salad is perfect for a summer BBQ or an easy weeknight meal. It’s a refreshing salad made of fresh herbs and crisp cucumbers. This recipe is allergy friendly (gluten, dairy, seafood, nut, egg, and soy free) and suits the autoimmune protocol (AIP), paleo and vegan diets.

A must for all your salad recipes. I like the idea of added mango.
I have made this a few times and it’s so delicious! Sometimes I will add fresh mango or pineapple and a little lime juice. It really is such a yummy summer salad. Thanks for the recipe!
Mango is a great addition to the salad. Good thinking! I'll have to try it. Yum! Thanks for leaving a comment. I appreciate the feedback.
