When you want something refreshing, but with character, you should pay attention to this creamy salad of cucumbers. It is far from ordinary – its highlight in an unexpected combination of a crispy vegetable, an digested bacon and saturated cheese taste in a soft cream dressing.
The main character is the cucumber. Juicy, refreshing, with a delicate taste, it sets the tone for the whole dish. Its crispy texture makes the salad alive and light, especially in combination with soft creamy notes. But so that the salad is not too “summer”, bacon is added to it – fried to golden crust, it brings a smoky shade and pleasant salty.
Cheese plays the role of a binder. It can be creamy, sharp or slightly crumbling – it all depends on the mood and the desired saturation of taste. It is the cheese that makes the refueling velvet and deep, enveloping every piece of cucumber and a slice of bacon.
The salad turns out to be moderately piquant, with a perfectly balanced structure: soft is combined with crispy, light with rich. This is a great option for both everyday dinner and for the festive table, especially if you serve it in chilled form – it refreshes perfectly and pleases with an unexpected harmonium of tastes.
In addition to taste, the visual impression is also important: the light green slices of the cucumber, golden bacon, cream refueling and slightly fresh greenery from above create a very appetizing look.
