It’s a story as old as time.
You get invited to a barbecue or summer get-together and are asked to bring a salad.

The sizzling temperatures call for something cooling, so cucumber salad sounds like a no-brainer.
This leaves you feeling anything but cool as a cucumber.
It happens to the best of us.

Sometimes, the simplest recipes can be the most difficult to perfect!
My biggest issue with cucumber salad has always been the flavor.
Turns out, all I needed was to peek at the back of my favorite pickle jar for inspiration.
The one ingredient my salad needed was already sitting in my spice drawer:coriander seeds.
Cracking the seeds adds a nice textural aspect, but you could use ground coriander seeds in a pinch.
The salt draws out excess moisture, and the ice encourages the cucumbers to become super crisp.
Let this sit for about 15 minutes before proceeding with your desired recipe.
