About this recipe

It’s hot outside, so we’re staying cool with a summer cucumber dill salad.

Meredith Scott from Choose Homemade, an organization supporting healthy eating in Oklahoma, shared this recipe for a light, vibrant salad with Nexstar’s KFOR. The recipe features, crunchy cucumbers, sugar snap peas, juicy grape tomatoes and a refreshing lemony dressing.

It’s also perfect for summer get-togethers, seeing as it’s make-ahead friendly. And it tastes even better when left to marinate for a few hours.
