Cucumber and Tomato Salad

Here’s a fresh and easy Cucumber and Tomato Salad—crisp, tangy, and perfect as a side for any meal 🥒🍅✨

Cucumber and Tomato Salad

Ingredients (Serves 2–4)

• 2 cups cucumber, sliced or diced

• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (or 2 medium tomatoes, chopped)

• ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or lemon juice

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

• Optional: 1 teaspoon fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or basil)

• Optional: ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

1. Prep vegetables

   • Slice or dice cucumbers and tomatoes.

   • Thinly slice the red onion if using.

2. Mix dressing

   • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

3. Combine salad

   • In a large bowl, toss cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion with the dressing.

4. Add extras

   • Sprinkle fresh herbs or feta cheese on top, if desired.

5. Serve

   • Chill for 10–15 minutes for extra flavor, or serve immediately.

Tips

• Use seedless cucumbers for a less watery salad.

• Cherry tomatoes work best for sweetness, but regular tomatoes are fine.

• Add a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are too tangy.

If you want, I can also give a “Mediterranean-style version” with olives, red bell pepper, and a lemon-garlic dressing—it’s colorful and extra flavorful
