Cucumber Salad

Our garden cucumbers are growing out of control, and we are not mad about it! This refreshing cucumber salad with a red wine vinaigrette is so simple to make and is the perfect side for a casual BBQ or an elegant dinner party.
A mandoline is recommended to slice the cucumbers, onions, radishes, and jalapeño but you could easily slice them thinly with a knife.
