This super simple Cucumber and Tomato Salad is so easy to make, so tasty, and takes just 15 minutes to make! Makes for a perfect side dish and pairs well with almost everything!

WHY THIS SALAD IS SO GOOD

  • So tasty: This salad is so good and always gets great feedback from our guests. Crunchy and bursting with flavor.
  • Easy: Takes just a few ingredients to make. Ones you may have handy at all times and no need to run to the store to grab any weird ingredients.
  • Healthy: They aren’t just so good, but so healthy too! Fresh veggies and simple and healthy ingredients to make the dressing.

 

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE THIS SALAD

  • Cucumbers: Any cucumber is fine. Use either one large English cucumber or 6 smaller ones
  • Tomatoes: We love using cherry or grape tomatoes. They tend to be sweet and crunchy
  • Onion: Purple works out great because the flavor isn’t as intense as white cooking onions.
  • Seasonings: You will need Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Oil: We used avocado oil but you can also use extra virgin olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar: Don’t have any? You can use red wine vinegar. But balsamic will add in a unique flavor to the salad.

HOW TO MAKE THIS HEALTHY SALAD

  • Prepare veggies: cut up the veggies according to the size you like.
  • Add the veggies into a large bowl
  • Make the dressing: Add the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and mix well.
  • Toss dressing into the large bowl of tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Then mix and serve.

 

TIPS

  • Tomatoes: Use any small cherry tomatoes, or your next option will be vine-ripe tomatoes
  • Onions: Red onion works best, but you can also use white sweet onions
  • Oil: Avocado or olive oil. Grapeseed oil is also ok
  • Vinegar: We love balsamic, but you can also use red wine vinegar.
  • Seasoning: if you don’t have any Italian seasoning handy, use these other herbs to make some: dried parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Makes about 5-6 cups. Serving size one cup.
