SUPER SIMPLE GARDEN FRESH TOMATO CUCUMBER SALAD RECIPE! MAKE AHEAD AND REFRIGERATE OR IT’S BEST WHEN SERVED RIGHT AFTER MAKING! ADD A PROTEIN TO THE BOWL AND MAKE IT A COMPLETE MEAL!
This is the best summer salad, it’s easy to make and tastes garden fresh every time. I can make a meal of just this salad and if I’m in the mood to add a little protein to it I just dice up a little grilled chicken and add it to the salad. Nothing says warm summer days like a room temperature tomato. I’ve found this salad tastes the best served at room temperature, right after it’s assembled. I have refrigerated it, but my personal taste is a room temp tomato has better flavor than a chilled one, but you can try for yourself and see what you like.

This sounds like the perfect summer salad. Thanks for sharing.
Karen you’ll have to give it a try.
Delicious and colorful summer salad
Carla I think it has beautiful colors too.
Wow, that salad is so similar to the tomato/cuc salad that i grew up on, only we put mayo is as the dressing instead of oil/vinegar…..i totally agree it needs to be served at room temp. I’ll try it this way for a change.
Erika I bet your version is equally as tasty 🙂
Your salad sounds so refreshing. I will have to give it a try !
Cheryl it really hits the spot on a warm summers day.
Looks good and can’t wait for fresh veggies to come in!!
Jeanie I love this salad warm, but once it’s chilled it’s not as tasty in my opinion.
You’ve got my mouth watering – this looks delish! Perfect for me to throw together for a family gathering this weekend, thank you!
