The perfect chopped summer salad loaded with juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, tender olives, marinated artichokes and earthy onions dressed with a simple Paleo red wine vinaigrette! This easy and flavorful salad goes great with everything from Grilled salmon to Smoked chicken, and it delish as leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch. Keep this Greek salad Paleo and Whole30 friendly by omitting the feta and checking to make sure all your ingredients are compliant (the artichokes and vinaigrette ingredients). The scrumptious taste of summer is only a few chopped veggies away!

Why Cucumbers are So Good For You!

Cucumbers are a fantastic source vitamins, minerals, fiber and water!  They are delicious prepared in a fresh salad,  cucumber kimchi, or even eaten as a snack with creamy homemade hummus or an easy blue cheese dip!

Vitamins

• Vitamin K: Vitamin K is essential in bone health and it is converted to vitamin K2 by our gut microbiome, which supports our heart health!
• Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant our bodies use to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.

Minerals

• Magnesium: The fourth most abundant mineral in the body, it supports healthy nerve functions, healthy blood pressure, and detoxification.
• Manganese: Essential mineral in supporting blood sugar regulation, glucose metabolism, and supporting healthy brain and nerve function [1].
• Potassium: Potassium is the fourth most abundant mineral in your body and it is an essential electrolyte necessary in nervous system function, metabolism,  hydration, and in regulating your heartbeat [2].

There are more benefits to eating cucumbers, they are full of fiber to support a healthy and optimized digestive tract! They contain both soluble and insoluble fiber:

• Insoluble fiber: Works to keep things moving along and helps with toxin and waste elimination.
• Soluble fiber [3]: Soluble fiber works to support a healthy microbiome and supports healthy blood sugar regulation.

Summer is salad season and this one is at the top of my repeat list. With tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers being in season in the summer, chances are you can find some fresh, vine ripened veggies at your local farmer’s market or grocery store. Eating seasonally is a great way to increase the nutrient density of the foods you eat, plus there is just nothing like a fresh summer tomato ripened by the sun. The hardest part about making this salad is not eating all the goodies before they go into the bowl!
