Now that it’s summer, I keep seeing recipes for cucumber salads.  They look light and refreshing and all, but you know what I really need?  Bacon. Yes, like many people I’m a bacon fanatic and I believe it really could be added to anything. In fact, last Christmas my family got my bacon lip gloss.  Surprisingly, you can’t add bacon flavor to lip gloss.  Well, you can, but you shouldn’t.  However, you really can’t go wrong adding bacon to a recipe, am I right?

 

There’s something about pairing the saltiness of bacon with the refreshing lightness of cucumbers that really drives a one-two punch for this recipe.  You’ll get the feeling of a traditional cucumber salad, but a salty flavor that will WOW your taste buds.  Perhaps it’s your body knowing how good for you cucumbers are, but how sinful bacon can be.

Quick Tip – Prepare all ingredients before hand, but heat the bacon and stir into salad right before serving for a fun warm/cold mixture.

Perfect for picnics, backyard BBQs, summer birthday parties and the ladies book club meetings. This salad is so simple to make and will be the perfect companion to BBQ chicken, ribs or burgers. You can even use it on fresh bruschetta.

 

My mother often had lady friends over who played cards and drank iced tea. She would also serve various salads such as tossed, macaroni and pasta. She also made a cucumber salad that was similar to this one. Us kids always got the leftovers, if there were any. But if there were not, she would always whip up a small batch for us to have with dinner. It was so good and so refreshing on hot summer evenings.

I try hard to have a fresh garden every year.  As it turns out, I don’t have a very green thumb and I end up killing a lot of things.  I am, however, pretty consistent in growing cucumbers and sometimes end up with more cucumbers than I have stomach capacity for!

Since my husband doesn’t like fresh cucumbers but does like pickles, I make this recipe in the summer to share the cucumber abundance without hours of efforts in front of my canner.  This recipe takes about 10 minutes to put together, but will have you reaching for a pickle snack all week long.
