Cucumber Tomato Salad with Italian Dressing
This simple cucumber tomato salad is one of the most popular and beloved summer salads, and for all the right reasons. It is so, so easy to make, it utilizes simple ingredients almost always present in any kitchen, and most importantly, it’s absolutely delicious! Bonus points if you’re a gardener because it's a great way to use up any abundance of cucumbers or tomatoes!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups seeded and diced tomatoes about 3 medium
- 1 1/4 cup peeled seeded, and sliced cucumber (1 large)
- 1/3 cup homemade Italian dressing
Instructions
- Cut and seed the tomatoes. Then, dice the tomatoes into large “bite size” pieces about 1/2 inch.
- Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, then cut the two cucumber halves in half lengthwise again. Then slice the cucumber halves crosswise to about 1/4 -1/2 inch slices.
- Combine the veggies in a large mixing bowl and add the Italian dressing. Stir well to incorporate the dressing and cover all the vegetables fully.
- You can serve this immediately, but I like to let it rest in the fridge for at least half an hour for the flavors to develop.
- This cucumber tomato salad will stay fresh for up to 5 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
