Cucumber Tomato Salad

Greek cucumber and tomato salad is perfect for summer parties. Fresh, healthy and so easy to prepare.

Crisp cucumbers and juicy tomatoes are always a hit, especially during the summer when the gardens and markets are full of fresh vegetables.

Refreshing cucumber tomato salad with a simple dill and feta vinaigrette. Flavourful, and so easy to make. The perfect side at any BBQ party.

When it comes to summer eating, less is more. Simple and easy to make recipes are a must. Salads are a staple for sure. We enjoy them as side dishes, or lots of time the main dish, especially when the temperature is scorching outside. The last thing I want to do is spend time in the kitchen cooking.

If you have a garden (or a neighbour that has one), all of a sudden you are swamped with fresh vegetables. Tomatoes and cucumbers just seem to magically appear on my doorstep LOL.

Cucumbers are so versatile, and they make great pickles too. The best part is they are super healthy. I love drinking cucumber water when I go to the spa, so refreshing.

You can never go wrong with a simple cucumber salad any day of the week. Smoked salmon with cucumber noodles are perfect for dinner on a hot summer day. Stuffed cucumbers make great appetizers too.

When it comes to tomatoes, you can’t beat sun-ripened fresh from the garden flavour. Super juicy, super delicious. I cannot even count how many tomato and cheese sandwiches we eat during the summer. Fresh tomato bruschetta is always a hit.

Suggestions / Recipe Tips

• Mini cucumbers or English cucumbers work best for this salad. If you are using regular garden cucumbers, you will want to peel them as the skin is pretty tough to eat.
• Tomatoes of any kind will work. I love using cherry or grape tomatoes, but you can chop up any variety you have.
• Fresh dill works best. If you are in a pinch, dried dill will work, but you will use a lot less in the recipe. You can also try other herbs like chives, thyme, oregano or parsley. Did you know you can freeze fresh herbs in cubes? Great for using in recipes.
• Oil and vinegar make a simple salad dressing in minutes. I like the combination of olive oil and white balsamic, but feel free to use any combination you like.

Let this salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. It will last for up to 4 days in the fridge. Just what you need for summer eating and parties. Easy and delicious.
