A recipe example of “Less is More”. I am amazed that something so simple can be so good. I make versions of this Crunch all summer long, everyone loves it. The first time I tried this salad was at the home of a friend, she served just cucumbers and herbs to accompany our aperitivi, what a great idea!! This is a fun way to use all the herbs from your garden all summer long, try it!!
