Cucumber Tomato Salad + Video

Cucumber Tomato Salad is the best of summers harvest. Crisp cucumbers and luscious tomatoes tossed in a bright and creamy lemon poppy seed dressing. This is my newest obsession.

Summer is a perfect time to make veggie salads. Vegetables are plentiful at the farmer's market or in our gardens.

So, if you want to try a few more of my favorite recipes after you've made this cucumber and tomato salad, here are a few ideas.

Creamy Cucumber Salad comes together in 10 minutes and has cucumbers, red onions, and a spectacular poppy seed dressing.

Or, this Cucumber Vinegar Salad is a southern classic. It has a delicious sweet vinegar marinade that is sure to be a hit.

Cucumber Tomato Salad - Recipe Notes

• Cucumbers have a tendency to release a lot of liquid. To avoid a watery salad you can prep your cukes ahead. Simply, place cucumbers in a serving dish. Sprinkle it with 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Pour off the liquid (do not rinse). Do not add more salt. This will be plenty. 
• We don't peel the cucumbers when we make this salad, but if you want to, you can peel them before you slice them.
• If you would like to make this salad ahead, prepare the dressing in a mason jar and toss the salad with it the day you plan to serve it.

Frequently asked question

How to choose the best tomatoes for salad
When choosing the best tomatoes for this Cucumber Tomato Salad, look for tomatoes with no blemishes or bruises.

They should be a deep, bright red color. If it has a pale color or is mottled with green, the flavor won't be the best. Be sure to avoid any tomatoes with small black spots on them.

Types of cucumbers

There are many different types of cucumbers you can use in this cucumber and tomato salad. I've used English Cucumbers because they have fewer seeds.

English cucumbers are often called seedless cucumbers. But, you will also have these varieties available.

• Armenian cucumbers have soft skin and seeds.
• Garden cucumbers are the most common and have large seeds.
• Gherkins are small and are often used for pickling.
• Kirby cucumbers are often referred to as pickling cucumbers.

How long do cucumbers need to marinate?
For the best flavor, allow the vegetables in this Cucumber Tomato Salad to marinate for at least 20 minutes.

You can let them marinate for up to twenty-four hours in the refrigerator if you want to make this salad the day before.

Tools to make Cucumber Tomato Salad

• Sharp knife or mandolin – A sharp knife or mandolin is always a necessity when slicing cucumbers.
• Cutting board – A high-quality cutting board comes in handy when prepping this salad.
• Mixing bowls – Combine all of the ingredients for this salad in a large mixing bowl.

What should I serve with this salad?

This Cucumber Tomato Salad is a perfect summer salad to go with any grilled meat. So, the next time you are using the grill, consider having this as a side dish.

You can serve it when you Grill the Perfect Steak. It goes wonderfully with Honey Balsamic Grilled Chicken. Or, why not try it with this Spicy Grilled London Broil.

Storing leftovers

If you store this salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it should last up to a week. After that, the tomatoes will start to get soft.

If you remove the tomatoes, you can store this salad for closer to two weeks. Just chop fresh tomatoes right before you want to serve it again.

Cucumber tomato salad varieties

There are many different things you can add to this summer salad. Why not try adding chopped avocado, corn, chopped chives, or even chunks of watermelon. You won't believe how delicious it is!

• Give it a Mexican twist by adding bell peppers and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Make it a Mediterranian Cucumber Tomato Salad by using a lemon and olive oil dressing instead of poppy seeds.
• For a Greek Cucumber Tomato Salad, add black olives and crumbled feta cheese.

Enjoy!

Cucumber Onion Salad with Vinegar + Video

Cucumber Onion Salad with Vinegar + Video

Cucumber Onion Salad is a delicious side dish with a refreshing and healthy vinegar dressing. Make this recipe for picnics and potlucks!

There are so many delicious ways to enjoy fresh cucumbers. I know I've shared several with you in the past.

Have you had a chance to try my Cucumber Tomato Salad? Crisp cucumbers and luscious tomatoes tossed in a bright and creamy lemon poppy seed dressing.

Or, you might like this Creamy Cucumber Salad. Combine fresh cucumbers, red onions, and a spectacular dressing to create a fresh salad that is perfect for summer potlucks and more!

And my Lemon Cucumber Salad is one of my favorite fresh summer salad recipes.

Tips for Making Cucumber Onion Salad

• I like to peel one cucumber and leave the whole peel on the other one for different textures. You can also texture the cucumber with a fork for more visual interest.
• English cucumbers really work best in this cucumber salad with vinegar. But, any seedless cucumber will work. If you use cucumbers with seeds, you will want to remove those first.
• The extra step of letting the cucumber sit with the salt on them really is important for the best results.
• You can substitute your favorite onion. I love red for the mild flavor and color, but sweet onions like Vidalia are awesome in this recipe too. Or, try it with fresh spring onions in the spring.
• In a pinch, this easy summer salad works just as well with thinly sliced summer zucchini. Try it!

Frequently asked questions

Should you eat the peel of cucumbers? 

The peel of the cucumber is loaded with essential vitamins and nutrients. And, it is also a wonderful source of dietary fiber.

I would definitely recommend you eat the peels when you make this cucumber onion salad. But, you can remove them if you want to.  

How to slice cucumbers paper-thin 

The easiest way to slice cucumbers paper-thin is to use a mandoline slicer. This ensures that each slice will be uniform and as thin as possible.

I've shared my favorite one with you below.  

 

How long can you keep cucumber vinegar salad? 

You can keep this cucumber onion salad in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.  The longer you store it, the more of a pickled taste the cucumbers will have.

Of course, it never lasts that long in my house.  


Can you make cucumber onion salad without sugar? 

The sugar in this cucumber vinegar salad helps to cut the taste of the vinegar. You can certainly leave it out if you want to.

Or, you can try an alternative sweetener like stevia, monk fruit or erythritol if you want to watch your sugar content.  

 

What type of vinegar is best?

I love the taste of apple cider vinegar so that is my first choice when making this cucumber onion salad recipe.

But, rice vinegar is a bit sweeter and not quite so tart as apple cider vinegar. And, you can also use white balsamic vinegar if you prefer.

I love that pairing with a few grape or cherry tomatoes. As a note, using a darker vinegar like red wine vinegar or a dark balsamic vinegar may discolor the cucumbers.

It will taste fine, but it won't be as white and green as if you used a lighter colored vinegar in this recipe.  

Kitchen tools for making this recipe

• Small Sauce Pan
• Mandoline slicer-This slicer is perfect for making easy work of uniform fruit or vegetable slices. I must have bought and returned 6 mandoline slicers before this one.  This one, I have had for 7 years and I still love it.

Serving suggestions 

If you are wondering what to serve with this delicious cucumber onion salad recipe, I would suggest a spicy main dish.

It's also a delicious side dish for any type of barbecue dish. Here are a few of my favorites.

• Bang Bang Shrimp
• Spicy Buffalo Chicken Burger
• Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Wings

Enjoy!

Helpful Tips to make Greek Spaghetti Salad:

• Make sure you salt the water when you boil your spaghetti. This will give the pasta a little more flavor.
• Make it ahead of time! Cook your pasta and chop your vegetables the day before and store everything together in an airtight container. Make and store your Greek vinaigrette separately. When you’re ready to eat pour the vinaigrette over the pasta salad and toss it until everything is well coated. 
• You can roast your own red peppers or save some time and use a jar of roasted red peppers.

What you will need to make Greek Spaghetti Salad:

• Strainer – You can’t make pasta without a good strainer! Make sure to drain the water from the pasta thoroughly before adding the other ingredients.
• Knife – The pasta is the only thing that has to be cooked for this recipe after that it’s all chopping. A good knife makes getting perfectly diced vegetables that much easier. 
• Garlic Press – Save yourself some time and use a garlic press to crush your garlic rather than mincing it by hand.
• Bowl with Lid – This Greek Spaghetti Salad is going to be making an appearance at a lot of summer potlucks and that means you need an easy way to get it there. A large bowl with a tightly fastened lid can go straight from the fridge to the party.

Enjoy!

Barbecue Chicken Salad

Barbecue Chicken Salad

Our Barbecue Chicken Salad recipe is crisp and refreshing and loaded with all your favorite barbecue fixin's. It takes just 25 minutes to throw together!

Do you love barbecue sauce so much you could almost drink it? Me too! I just can't get enough of it, especially when covering a juicy and tender piece of grilled meat. A barbecue meal isn't usually the healthiest but this Barbecue Chicken Salad is! It's filled with lean cut bbq chicken and loads of veggies.



Hey friends! Melanie here again from Garnish & Glaze. We're already into the February which means we're on our second month of resolutions. I don't have the resolution to lose weight but just to eat healthier/eat more vegetables. It does not come easy for my sweet tooth. Salads have been my thing this year because they're yummy and pack in a whole lot of vegetables.

The great thing is that they still have a little of my favorite things like cheese, bacon, and avocado which makes me want to eat salad. I think you'll be just as excited to eat this salad as I am!

Helpful Tips to Make Barbecue Chicken Salad:

• For crisp lettuce, soak in cold water for 5 minutes, drain, and dry in a salad spinner.
• Don't toss with dressing until ready to serve. Dressing causes lettuce to wilt so it's best to only apply dressing to what you are going to be eating right away.
• Meal prep this by cooking the bacon and chicken ahead of time and chopping up all the veggies. When ready to eat, just dump it all together in a bowl.
• If grilling a day or two before, cook the chicken on the grill and then refrigerate until ready to make the salad.

What You Will Need to Make Barbecue Chicken Salad:

• Non-stick Skillet- Everyone needs a good skillet. I use this almost daily for everything from cooking eggs to browning chicken or ground beef.
• Cutting Board- A big good solid cutting board is a necessity. I have many cutting boards but always come back to this one.
• Quality Knives- Good quality knives are not only important to ease of slicing and chopping but also for safety. You can help prolong the quality of your knives by quickly honing them regularly.

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Summer Vegetable Salad

Summer Vegetable Salad

Summer Vegetable Salad with a tangy basil vinaigrette is very easy to make and bursting with summer flavor!

Garden overflowing? Go a little crazy at the farmer’s market? Use up summer’s bounty to create this fresh, crunchy summer salad in no time at all!

One of the best things about summer is the prolific amount of fresh produce that is everywhere.

Whether you hit up your own garden, your local farmer’s market, or even your favorite grocery store, you’re bound to be enraptured with the bright colors of fresh summer vegetables.

I am the queen of overbuying produce, and I also despise throwing away food.

I ran into this situation this week and rather than eventually throw everything out because my wallet is apparently bigger than my stomach.

I remembered this amazing summer vegetable salad that my favorite Italian deli makes in the summer.

Its a very simple salad, but completely full of fresh summer flavor.

While I was never sure what they used in their dressing, I opted to make a light, tangy dressing of basil, vinegar and a touch of dijon mustard.

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

The Simple Kitchen is loaded with more than 75 BRAND NEW recipes and a hand full of family favorites too.

8 chapters with a total of 82 quick and easy recipes that are bursting with flavor!!!

Every recipe has a photo that will make your mouth water. It has slow cooker meals, one-pot recipes, quick dinners, simple appetizers, desserts and more!!!

And we have included kitchen tips to make dinnertime less stressful.

WHERE TO ORDER:

🔥 Amazon   🔥 Barnes & Noble   🔥 Books-a-Million  🔥 IndieBound

Helpful Tips to make Summer Vegetable Salad:

• This recipe is good for almost anything you have around. In this version, I used grape tomatoes, corn, red onion and cucumber, but yellow squash, zucchini, etc also work.
• To make the corn, my favorite trick is to microwave the ears still in the husk for six minutes. Use a sharp kitchen knife to slice off the end of the cob- close to the base. Carefully slide the corn out of the husk- no shucking required and NO stray corn silk!

What you will need to make Summer Vegetable Salad:

• Large Bowl-
• Cutting Board-
• Sharp Knife- 

Enjoy!
