Easy Tomato and Cucumber Salad
With just a few simple ingredients, this recipe for an Easy Tomato and Cucumber Salad is the perfect way to enjoy summer produce!
Hi Friends!
Today’s recipe is super simple but it’s full of flavor. I made this in hopes hubby would like it and the verdict is, it’s a hit! My mother-in-law makes a similar salad with Italian dressing and he loves it. I found some great heirloom tomatoes and wanted to recreate it, but I put my own spin on the dressing!
A simple mix of olive oil and red wine vinegar adds a light summer flavor while still letting the tomatoes and other produce shine!
This salad is best, in my opinion, when it’s served cold and had time to marinate, which means it would be the perfect addition to your Sunday Food Prep! Make a big batch and enjoy with lunches and dinners all week long!
Here’s how you make it!
