What is This Salad Like

• Difficulty – This is a very easy salad to make. It requires few ingredients and takes only about 15 minutes to put together. It’s best to allow the salad to chill for about one hour before serving.
• Taste – A very fresh and light flavour. The cucumbers are crisp and light and the tomatoes juicy and sweet. This salad is wrapped up in a basic vinaigrette. 
• Serving – This salad will make four servings as a side dish. Keep in mind, you can easily adjust the serving size in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Ingredients

• Tomatoes – I used cherry tomatoes for this recipe. Try to choose firm tomatoes for the best salad.
• Cucumber – Again, choose a firm cucumber and you can partially peel it or leave the skin on if you prefer.
• Red onion – This adds a great colour and flavour to the salad.
• Vinaigrette – I made a simple vinaigrette from olive oil, white wine vinegar, parsley and salt. It worked perfect.

NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Combine vegetables – In a large salad bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber and red onions.
2. Make dressing – In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, parsley and salt. Whisk to combine.
3. Assemble and chill salad – Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss well to completely combine. Cover and chill for one hour.
4. Serve – Remove from fridge and serve.

Recipe Tips

• Prep ahead – The vegetables can be chopped and stored in the fridge up to 24 hours before assembling the salad.
• Use fresh ingredients – Because this is a fresh summer salad, I recommend using very fresh and crisp vegetables.
• Adjust vinaigrette – The vinaigrette for this salad is very basic, adjust portions to suit your taste buds.

Substitutions & Additions

• Cherry Tomatoes – You can use any ripe small tomatoes for this recipe. Just make sure if you are using a bigger tomato, you cut them in small pieces for the salad.
• Red onions – While these are the best choice for the salad, you can also use green onions or white onions.
• Vinaigrette – If you like other flavours, a lime vinaigrette would also work really well. You and even use balsamic vinegar for this salad as well.
• Additions – You can make this a more filling salad by adding any kind of cheese like mozzarella pearls, sharp cheddar pieces or crumbled feta.

Serving

• Chicken & Turkey – Serve this up with the Green Olive Chicken or the Roasted Spatchcock Chicken would be great.
• Fish & Seafood – Why not serve it alongside the Lemon Crusted Baked Cod or the Pan Fried Hake.
• Beef & Pork – Serve it with the Moroccan Spiced Pork Kebabs or the Barbecue Pork Tenderloin.
