Asian Basil Cucumber Salad Recipe fits in my plan for eating a healthy and hydrating meal for summer.

I am trying to use cucumber as often as possible this season. Recently, I made an energizing Cucumber and Mint Cooler which turned out to be quite lip-smacking.

For our exclusive BFF brunch, I made creamy Cucumber and Mint Raita and guess what, my best friends loved it as well.

I am planning to serve them Asian Basil Cucumber Salad or Cucumber Salad Recipe soon because it is just as scrumptious!

We like this Salad more for the fact that its dressing is very fine and subtle. I have used vegetable oil, lemon juice, rice vinegar, fish sauce, and chilli flakes to balance all the flavors.

Additionally, it has this nice crunch and flavors of cucumber, basil. During Summer, especially, when I and my family wish to stay away from heavy meals, this salad fits in our diet plan.

Cucumber helps in flushing out toxins, it helps in weight loss as well.

Moreover, it cleanses our eyes, combats cancer and keeps us hydrated throughout the day.
