Salada de Pepino, or cucumber salad, is a refreshing dish commonly found in Brazilian cuisine. This simple yet flavorful salad typically features thinly sliced cucumbers, onions, and sometimes tomatoes, tossed in a light vinaigrette made of olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Some variations may include fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added aroma and taste. Low in calories and packed with hydrating cucumber slices, this dish serves as a nutritious side, offering a good source of vitamins like C and K, as well as antioxidants. The olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, while the absence of heavy creams or sugary dressings keeps it light. However, for individuals watching their sodium intake, moderating the salt used in the recipe is recommended. Perfect as a crisp accompaniment to grilled meats or enjoyed on its own, Salada de Pepino is both versatile and wholesome.
