Summer in Boston is no joke. Especially this summer! Heat, humidity and exhaustion from concert planning…I rarely feel like cooking once I make it home. This is an easy and quick cucumber salad with an Asian twist that I found on eatingwell.com. It stores well and is a nice, refreshing snack to tide me over until my husband has made dinner!
