Our Tomato and Cucumber Salad
Try our refreshing tomato and cucumber salad, it’s perfect for a potluck or the midday munchies.
Our recipe was inspired by my mom. While growing up I can remember having a garden with many different veggies. One of my favorites were grape tomatoes. Mom would always chop them up with some cucumbers, salt, and pepper and then like magic they were gone.
Minda and I have transformed my mom’s tomatoes and cucumbers into a refreshing salad. If you need a quick and easy side or snack our tomato and cucumber salad is an amazing option.
Ingredients, Substitutions, and Additions
Cucumbers – We mostly use English cucumbers. We also enjoy using garden and lemon cucumber.
Tomatoes – Cherry tomatoes are an amazing alternative to grape tomatoes. No grape or cherry tomatoes on hand? No worries! Any tomato will do, you just want to make sure to leave the majority of the seeds out.
Hint: The easiest way we have found to get rid of the seeds is to cut slices around the outside of the tomato. This will leave you with the seedy center that you can discard. Then, all you need to do is cut up the remaining slices into 1/2 inch pieces.
Cheese – Cube up some of your favorite cheese in place of feta.
Dry Seasonings – For some spice try and add some red pepper flakes.
Fresh Herbs – Some finely sliced basil adds an amazing flavor.
Toppings – Some soy sauce paired with sriracha is tasty.
