Now is the time to be enjoying all of those wonderful fresh vegetables from the garden or famer’s markets like with this cucumber and tomato salad. I love the fresh crunchy taste of cucumbers.
This cucumber and tomato salad is fav of mine since I discovered it in 2011. I have shared a similar salad like this before. However, this version is a little more dressed up, a little fancier than the one I knew before this recipe.
I must say that I love the expanded flavor in this version. I will be eating this a lot this Summer! Now I am wishing I had planted grape tomatoes this year, d’oh! I did however plant some fresh herbs and loved the fresh dill in this.
It is a perfect salad to take to summer gatherings. Becaus eof the ingredients you use to make it, this is much safer to take than a mayo based salad.
