Yellow Bean, Cucumber & Radish Salad
This is a great summer side or salad that works well with those bigger garden-style cucumbers. Deseeding them and then slicing them very thinly at an angle is the key to getting good texture from bigger cukes.
Peel them if you do not like the skin, but cucumber, as with all other vegetables, has nutritional value in the skin.
