Cucumber and Carrot Salad
With summer approaching I am always thinking about salads and outdoor dining. I love a dish that is easy to take along to picnics, barbecues and cook outs. This refreshing salad combines carrots and cucumbers in a simple dressing. So easy and fast. Perfect side for your picnic or barbecue.
