If you are curious why everyone is raving about cucumber salads, content creator and food enthusiast Logan could be the reason. Here's all we know.

When the summer sun is blazing overhead, there’s one vegetable we all seem to crave, cucumbers. Some people love it, especially during the heat, but it was never something everyone obsessed over. That's until recently when cucumbers have become the 'IT' vegetable of the season. Social media is filled with a food trend where people are mixing different dressings, oils, and vegetables to create their comfort cucumber salads. Cucumbers have always been amazing, but it’s interesting to see why the internet is suddenly obsessed with them.

As far as we know, a lot of this newfound love can be credited to content creator and food enthusiast Logan, who has shared several cucumber salad recipes that have gone viral. In one of his most popular videos, which has racked up more than 9 million views, Logan starts by saying, “Sometimes, you need to eat an entire cucumber, let me show you the best way to do it.” He then thinly slices the cucumber and lightly marinated it with a mix of soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, MSG, sesame oil, garlic, green onion, and sesame seeds, shaking it all up in a quart-sized container to make a quick, flavorful cucumber salad. This simple yet tasty recipe has caught the attention of millions, and Logan, picking up on its popularity, has continued to share a variety of cucumber recipes. Most of his recipes lean on Asian flavors and involve light pickling or marinating. Now, it seems like cucumber salad videos are everywhere on the internet, and it’s clear that cucumbers have become a new culinary craze.
