CUCUMBER SALAD WITH LEMON HONEY DRESSING


Hey Lovelies,
Ever eaten a salad that you could eat all day everyday? No? Well you should try my cucumber salad with lemon honey dressing! It beats all other salads that I have had so far. Its got crunch, its got spice, its got tangyness, its got sweetness, the best part is that its filled with freshness and all the earthy flavours of fresh vegetables. The lemon honey dressing does more than just intensify the flavours, it infuses its own kind of glory.If there was a perfect match made on this earth, it would be this cucumber salad and this lemon honey dressing. This is a great way to get everyone to enjoy and eat their salad. Serve with grilled food to balance out the flavours or as a side to your dinners, better still you can even eat it on its own like I almost did lol!
