Grilled Chicken Thigh and Cucumber Salad

Cucumber salad is one of our favorite side dishes—it's a fun way to turn this simple vegetable into a flavor-packed salad, whether you want something creamy, spicy or crunchy. We love to mix them into light and fresh salads with chopped herbs, Greek yogurt and seasonal veggies for a fast and flavorful side. Cucumbers are also super healthy, and are a great produce pick any time of year. Check out our easy and delicious cucumber salad recipes for new inspiration and refreshing ideas.

Cucumber-Fennel Salad with Herbed Goat Yogurt

Cucumber-Fennel Salad with Herbed Goat Yogurt
Go to Recipe

Star chef and Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio is crazy about Catapano Dairy Farm in Peconic, Long Island. The five-acre property has 95 or so milking goats, which generate about 60 pounds of cheese and yogurt on any given day. Capatano's fresh and aged cheeses are excellent, but Colicchio's favorite is the creamy, superbly tangy and slightly funky goat yogurt, which he uses for this supremely simple and delicious salad. It's a perfect summery side dish, and also makes a great crunchy topping for burgers.
