What to Serve With This Salad
This Cucumber and Bell Pepper Salad is quite versatile and can easily pair with a number of dishes. Here are a few suggestions:
- Garlic Shrimp and Asparagus:The lightness and freshness of this salad perfectly balance the robust flavors of the garlic shrimp and asparagus.

- Grilled Rosemary Chicken Skewers:The refreshing salad can act as a nice counterpart to the savory chicken skewers.

Remember, the beauty of this salad is in its versatility, so feel free to pair it with any main dish you fancy!
How to Store
After preparing the salad, any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Because of the fresh ingredients used, it’s best to consume the salad within 1-2 days. Over time, the cucumbers and bell peppers might lose their crispness, and the dressing may cause them to become slightly soggy.
