This is one of my favorite salads of Summer. It’s a standby in my house because tomatoes and cucumbers are always in abundance, especially if you have a garden! It’s refreshing and perfect to accompany a good fresh meal on a hot day. It’s also good to take to a cookout because you don’t have to worry about it sitting out for too long.
It’s even better the second day after the flavors have had a chance to mingle together. If you like onions, I’d suggest thinly slicing some red onion to add as well. I don’t like uncooked onions so I leave them out.
Ingredients:
-2 Large Ripe Tomatoes
-1 Large English Cucumber
-Handful of Basil
-3 Tablespoons Italian Dressing
Cut the tomatoes into wedges. Wash and peel the cucumber; cut into slices and then halve. Chiffonade the basil and sprinkle on top. Stir in Italian Dressing and add more to your personal preference if needed. Simple yet delicious!
Great idea! We too have both of these in abundance right now. Will have to try.
I had to smile…my husband and his mother always refer to this dish as summer salad. Looks beautiful.
So perfect and refreshing for the crazy heat we are having! Looks so bright and summery!
