Today’s recipe is full of fresh summer flavor! This Greek Cucumber Salad is loaded with cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, peppers, olives and a simple lemon and olive oil dressing. I have always loved a good cold pasta salad packed with vegetables and this has become my low carb substitute.

You’ll love this salad on it’s own, but it is equally delicious paired with chopped leafy greens and grilled chicken to make a Greek Chicken Salad that is hardy enough for dinner. I love this Grilled Chipotle Chicken, but if you want something with less spice, try this Balsamic Grilled Chicken.

What should I serve with Greek Cucumber Salad?

While this Greek Cucumber Salad is great on it’s own it pairs well with lots of great entrees. These Blackened Salmon and Zucchini Skewers work well because the lemon and tangy feta work beautifully with grilled salmon. If you’d rather not break out the grill these Salmon Patties or Pesto Chicken Peppers are a great match too. And don’t forget about lunch! This salad is an excellent quick and easy low carb lunch!
