30 Low-Carb Cucumber Salads

PIN the cucumber salads to try some later!
How do you feel about cucumbers? I’m always kind of shocked when someone tells me they don’t like them, but then I realize maybe those cucumber-adverse people have only had grocery store cucumbers. Those overly large waxy creatures are a poor substitute for fresh garden cucumbers, which are loaded with a delicate flavor that I love.
And as soon the weather gets hot I start craving cucumber salads. And it’s HOT right now in many places across the U.S., so I’m updating this collection of 30 Low-Carb Cucumbers Salads. Don’t you agree that cucumbers are especially great when the weather is really hot, and they’ll cool you down no matter how you eat them.
I hope you enjoy trying my favorite cucumber salads all summer long! I’ve put the salads into categories to make it a bit easier to find the ones yo might like; enjoy!

Best recipes ever!!! I appreciate that you use simple fresh ingredients and pantry staples. I am GF (medically) and your recipes are included in my diet almost dailyÂ
Thank you!!!!!
Thanks Abbye! My niece who cooks with me has a son who is gluten-free so we try to make sure he can eat the leftovers. So glad you are enjoying the recipes!
Thank you; I used Google Translate to read your comment!
ALL of these salads are amazing! I can’t decide which one to make first. I always have tons of cukes from our garden, so I am happy to have received this post.
So glad you like it! I love, love, love garden cucumbers. Mine are still tiny, but coming!
Thank you for sharing this great set of recipes!!! Love almost any kind of salad. They all look so tasty and perfect for my summer diet:)
Jessi
Thanks Jessi; hope you enjoy!
Glad you like it!
Having healthy snacks and grab ‘n go lunches like this would be a big help to me.
It's great to taste cucumber salads in this hot summer. All of your recipes are amazing!
Thanks Kristin; so glad you're enjoying them!
Zerrin, I did know that cucumbers are a staple in all the countries in that part of the world, but I had no idea they were eaten for breakfast. And I have not heard about cacik either, thanks for sharing that! Sounds like something I'd love.
A wonderful round up here! Cucumber is one of my favorite summer foods and we have in various ways. Did you know sliced cucumber and tomatoes are staple for a typical Turkish breakfast? Among all, I think my all time favorite cucumber recipe is cacik, which is a combination of strained yogurt, thinly chopped cucumber, mashed garlic and a little dried mint. A perfect refreshing appetizer or side dish or even a snack in summer!
Kate, so glad you enjoyed it. I love that combination.
My little basil plant needed pinching back so I made the Garden Cucumber Salad with Tuna and Fresh Basil today and loved it. So easy to throw together and very refreshing. I can see this becoming a staple in my brown bag rotation.
Thanks Mimi, glad you like it!
Love these! I will be doing lots of cucumber salads this summer.
Oh yes, dill is always great with cucumbers!
I forgot to add an ingredient to my Polish mother's recipe for cucumbers. Besides cold sour cream she sprinkled on some dill. Loved it.
All your delicious posted recipes are making my mouth water, Kalyn.
Happy Cool Summer!
What a fun memory Wanda. My own mom always had cucumbers in the fridge in a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar. We would eat them with lots of salt and black pepper. I think they're the perfect summer food; hope you enjoy!
Ahhhh, my favorite food for summer, cucumbers! Brings back wonderful food memories. My Polish mother, in the hot and humid climate of Toronto summers always had cucumbers in a dish of cold sour cream with skinny strips of onion around it. I relish that memory.
Thanks for all the delicious cucumbe recipes, Kalyn. I am printing them out as I write.
Thanks Dara. I am totally with you on the cucumber love. I think they're the perfect summer food. And such a good vehicle to transport Feta cheese to your mouth!
I adore cucumbers in every form. They're always so refreshing! What a fantastic round-up this is, Kalyn.
ok, that is the best salad page ever, love all the salads, I love cucumber, so bookmarking this page 🙂
Mom-ster, glad you like the cucumber recipes! Have fun trying them.
I haven't chimed in for quite some time, but I had to stop and say thanks. I don't even know how many times I have googled for cuke recipes and not found much to try…I love this post. So many good ideas that are just my style I jotted down several of the recipes and hit the store for a few of the ingredients I don't usually keep on hand…tried the one with garbanzo beans to start off…gonna try one with avocado today…. loving it.
How nice to get CSA cucumbers; I bet they are fantastic.
Thanks Barbara! Yes I think Lebanese and Persian cucumbers would be the same thing. Very small with thin skin.
Maria, your salad with wasabi sounds wonderful!
My mother in law always kept me supplied with her cucumbers. Now Ibuy them I prefer the Lebanese, which I guess is what you call Persian.
Great round up Kalyn.
We got quite a few cucumbers in our CSA box this week- perfect timing!
Oh, yes, Kalyn! I'm sure. I'll plan to do some shopping there. I'm glad you mentioned them because I didn't even thing of it.
Paz, I bet the GreenMarkets in NYC have wonderful cucumbers!
Actually, I know which one I'll start with first. The Not-so-dumb salad, which I've printed and then the Greek-style salad. Also printed. Just need to buy the cucumbers. 😉
Paz, glad you like it!
Oh, man! I love this lineup! Now, which one should I make first. Hmmm…
That cucumber-dill-vinegar salad sounds great! Sometimes I think the simplest cucumber salads are the best.
Wanda if you type "Green Zebra Tomatoes" into the search bar there is a post from last year where I showed how they look when they're ripe.
Oh I do feel bad for anyone who doesn't get to enjoy cucumbers. The garden cucumbers are so divine, but the small Persian cucumbers are also just wonderful.
I love cucumbers. I've grown them for the first time this year and they are so incredibly sweet. So many don't even make it to the table because I wind up nibbling on them. These recipes are great and I can't way to try them!
I adore cucumbers, and though I don't grow my own, I love Kirby (pickling) cukes from the local farm stand, and the mini-Persian cucumbers that are becoming easier to find in the supermarket. Every one of these cucumber salads looks fantastic!
I LOVE cucumbers. Thanks for posting these delectible recipes, Kalyn. The only vegetable I am growing this season due to a lot of traveling is a green zebra tomato plant which I picked up at the farmers market in June…its very tall now but has two tomatoes on it…not ripe yet (I think)..but how do I know when green zebras are ripe?
Loving the cucumber ideas!
Cucumber sandwiches, with or without cheese, all different cheeses.
CJ, thanks for all the great cucumber ideas.
I love cucumbers and have a ton of them in the refrigerator. This weeks cucumber roaster-
-Sliced and sprinkled with some rice wine vinegar and dill weed.
-In chopped salad with tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, feta cheese, kalmata olives
-Thai with ginger, scallion, rice wine vinegar, sugar, cilantro
-Friday treat- Creamed with a mayo-sour cream dill dressing
– Tomorrow- spears with a little S&P
Jeanette, I do that too, especially with garden cucumbers.
These cucumber salads all look so good I'd like to try some of these. I've been enjoying lots of cucumbers this summer, in salads, soups and pickles. Sometimes I just cut them up and eat them straight up without anything else.
Glad I am not the only one who loves cucumbers!
I love cucumbers and this is a fantastic roundup!!!
I actually really love cucumbers. They are crispy and so light and actually refreshing to me. I am so happy to have all these great recipes now!
