Cucumber Tomato Summer Salad

The other day I was looking at the 8 cucumbers we had just picked from our garden and thinking to myself, "goodness, what am I supposed to do with all these cucumbers". Well, I gave a lot away, but then I remembered this very basic delicious salad that I grew up on. So, I started cutting up my cucumbers and tomatoes and Chris stepped in to suggest an easy vinaigrette salad. So, he whipped it up and BAM, we had a healthy veggie side for dinner. This is great for parties or potlucks as well. Healthy, filling, and quick... my kind of side dish. 

Tomato Cucumber Salad


  • 2 Cucumbers
  • 2 cups of cherry tomatoes (or other tomatoes)
  • 1/2 onion chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 avocado cubed (optional)

  • 1 tbsp of vegannaise (or lite mayo)
  • cracked pepper to top

  2. Vinaigrette: Wisk all 3 ingredients together.
  3. Combine and toss. Chill before serving.
