Here’s a fresh and simple Cucumber and Tomato Salad 🥒🍅—perfect as a side or light snack.
Cucumber and Tomato Salad
Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 2 large cucumbers, sliced (or 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced)
- 3–4 ripe tomatoes, chopped or sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1–2 tsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or dill
- Optional: crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Prep veggies
- Slice cucumbers and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Thinly slice red onion if using.
- Make dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Toss
- In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion.
- Pour dressing over salad and toss gently.
- Add extras
- Sprinkle fresh herbs and/or feta cheese on top.
- Serve
- Chill 10–15 minutes if desired, then serve fresh.
Tips
- Use seedless cucumbers to reduce extra water.
- For extra flavor, add sliced avocado, olives, or a pinch of garlic powder.
- This salad is best eaten the same day, as tomatoes release juice over time.
If you want, I can also give a creamy cucumber and tomato salad version that’s richer and perfect for picnics.
