Farmers Market Week continues with a super simple but super delicious Balsamic Cucumber Salad. I found Blair L's recipe on Tasteofhome.com and it was perfect to use up some beautiful cucumbers I picked up at the market.
I left some of the peel on, I like the color contrast it gives. Since I am not a fan of feta I used some fresh mozzarella pearls instead. For the vinaigrette I used a Honey Balsamic. I also hit it at the end with some fresh cracked black pepper and some fresh herbs like basil would have been nice too.
I hope you are enjoying #FarmersMarketWeek as much as I am! Be sure to check out all the other great recipes using the links down below!
