Cucumber Salad With Basil Fennel Vinaigrette.
Do yourself a favour, and make this salad. It’s lip smacking good, so moreish and perfect for summer meals. I could really eat a plateful of this all day long. The weather is so warm here in Pune right now that all I look for is light meals and salads to cook our eat out.
The lemony tang and the aroma of basil and fennel compliments the cool cucumber so well. The roasted groundnuts adds the perfect nuttiness to the salad. Drooling already? Try this recipe.
