This Curly Cucumber Salad Will Make Eating Your Veggies Fun

I shamelessly caved into the “spiralized food” craze that’s currently taking over both Pinterest boards and Instagram accounts alike, and I bought a veggie spiral slicer. I’ll admit — it’s a pretty fun tool to have in the kitchen, especially during the summer when produce is at its peak and I don’t feel like switching on the oven. This cucumber salad is a refreshing addition to any backyard cookout, or have it as a side to these spicy chickpea burgers. It’ll no doubt be a hit with your Instagram followers and your taste buds.
