I wanted to make a nice salad for the joint bbq. refreshing and not too heavy on the stomach. You quickly eat too much with all those dishes and bowls on the table. Of course we all know the classic cucumber salad. Nice and easy and with few ingredients but always a winner on the table. I gave it a little twist with some zucchini and I have to say it turned out really nice. fresh cucumber salad recipe
By the way, I wanted to buy sour cream with this Mediterranean cucumber salad with zucchini, but I was mistaken in the supermarket. Crème fraîche and sour cream are called differently in France than in the Netherlands. So I came home with crème fraîche and not with sour cream…. I gave the acidity to this dressing by using a fine lemon.

And this is how you make the Mediterranean cucumber salad with zucchini:
We'll start with the cucumber. Peel these and cut them in the middle. Remove the seeds from the cucumber with a spoon. Then cut them into thin slices. Put them in a bowl already.

Cut the zucchini in half and into thin slices. Then blanch them for 3 minutes in a pan of boiling water. Then pour the cougrette into a colander and let it drain well.
The red onion can be chopped or cut into very thin slices.
Mix everything in the bowl so that the vegetables are evenly distributed and sprinkle some fresh basil leaves over it.
