Vine vegetable, popular in salads (8)

I believe the answer is:

cucumber

(Other definitions for cucumber that I've seen before include "Ecu crumb (anag.)" , "Oblong fruit used in salad" , "Green salad fruit" , "Three dn item" , "Proverbially cool salad ingredient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
