WHAT’S IN THIS SALAD?

This salad uses 4 fresh veggies. That’s it! The dressing is based in mayonnaise and yogurt to keep it cool and creamy. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Radishes
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • English Cucumbers
  • Red Onions

For the Dressing

  • Mayonnaise
  • Plain Yogurt
  • Garlic: Finely mince your garlic so you get little bursts of flavor in every bite.
  • Lemon Juice
  • Salt & Pepper

I can’t express how easy this salad is to make. Just slice and dice your veggies, mix together the dressing and toss it in your salad!

TIPS FOR THE BEST CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD

  1. Use English Cucumbers: These cucumbers are ideal for salads because you don’t have to peel them. Also, the seeds are so small you won’t even notice them! If you use regular cucumbers, you’ll definitely want to peel them and you might want to scoop out the seeds.
    Add Dressing Just Before Serving: It’s best to add in your dressing right before you serve the salad.
  2. Mince Garlic According to Preference: I like to mince my garlic very finely for this recipe. This way, it adds amazing flavor without overpowering the other ingredients in the salad. But if you LOVE garlic, you can totally use bigger chunks.
  3. You Can Also Use Regular Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes are great for this salad because you simply need to cut them in half. They look pretty in the salad, but you can add regular diced tomatoes, instead, if you prefer them.

During those HOT Summer Days, this refreshing COOL SALAD is really easy to whip up and goes great with a nice glass of Fine Wine. One of my favorites is the RICORD Merlot.
