Quick Cucumber Pickle Salad

I'm not quite sure what to call this. I get a lot of cucumbers through my farm share, and this is something I'll make sometimes when I'm tired of having them plain. This is milder than a pickle, and goes well with Asian and Indian food.

Cucumber, Strawberry, and Basil Salad

A great summer dish just in time for late fall! Cucumbers and strawberries are two wonderful summer foods. They're fresh and in season, and their high water content makes them lighter foods that are agreeable in hot weather. The basil helps bring the flavors of both together. Paired with salad greens and grilled shrimp, it's a nice lunch and can be served on its own as a side dish with other courses.
