Garden-Fresh Cucumber Tomato Salad in Vinaigrette Dressing

Sunday, September 6, 2020 by Lolli Leave a Comment

It’s the time of year when gardens are bursting with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers (and lots of other garden vegetables)! We probably have upwards of 100 tomatoes on the vines in the backyard right now, and my mouth waters just thinking about eating all of those vine-ripened tomatoes. I look forward to this time of year all year long.

Cucumber Tomato Salad is one of my favorite classic garden salad varieties, and this one is made even better with a simple vinaigrette dressing. This recipe is a perfect side-salad size to serve with dinner, but can easily be doubled if you’d like to make a larger salad. I’ve also had very good luck eating this salad the next day. Unlike leafy salads, this stores very well in the fridge!

Do you have a vegetable garden? What are your favorite garden veggies to grow?

Directions:

1. Slice cucumbers and cut into quarters. A lot of people prefer to peel the cucumbers first, but this recipe works perfectly fine if you want to leave the peel on.
2. Cut tomatoes into bite sized pieces.
3. Peel onion and cut in half. Set one half aside.
4. Slice the onion half and and cut each slice in half, breaking apart all slices.
5. Add cucumbers, tomatoes and onion to a bowl. Pour in wet ingredients and spices. Toss well.

6. Alternatively, you can prepare the vinaigrette dressing first by mixing wet ingredients and spices, then pouring over cucumber mixture.
7. Chill for an hour, then serve.

You can add more or less of the cucumbers, tomatoes, or onions according to your taste. This salad is very versatile and always a hit!
