Yet another delicious recipe from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook. I've been meaning to make this salad for a long time and for one reason or another have had to put it on the back burner. The recipe also has two variations which I can't wait to try. The slight tweak I made to this was not add olives (for Eric's sake). Other than that, I followed the recipe. Surprisingly, we both didn't care for the addition of almonds. The cucumbers have so much excellent flavor that the almonds really took away from the flavor and actually changed the overall taste for the worse rather than enhance it.
Things I learned from this recipe:
I finally found a salad where I didn't want to add almonds.
Would I make this recipe again?:
Definitely
