If you pay any attention at all to food trends, you know cucumbers are having a major moment. Maybe you’re already soaking these darlings of the detox set in your infused water, but to get even more of their nutritious benefits, you should also eat them whole in crisp and crunchy cucumber salads. Here are some of our favorites.

Cilantro Lime Cucumber Salad
Sambal oelek is the on-trend chile paste that gives this crunchy salad its spicy bite. That, and a fiery pinch of red pepper flakes. Add a little or add a lot, because some like it hot.
