This cucumber salad is one of my favorite side dishes and it’s quick and simple to make.  I dress it with a basil olive oil and an oregano white balsamic vinegar.  You can usually find these at any local specialty olive oil store.  I did a food tour in NYC a few years ago and one of the stops was a really good olive oil store called O and Co.  I bought some olive oil and vinegar that day and have continued to order online from them.  Their shipping is expensive but they usually will offer free shipping every few weeks if you sign up for their emails http://www.oliviersandco.com/
