Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad
Description
This salad features thin rounds or half rounds of cucumber paired with sliced tomato wedges and thinly sliced red onion, providing a crisp and fresh vegetable base. The creamy dressing blends sour cream and plain Greek yogurt with lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh dill, seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste. The lemon juice adds brightness while the dill introduces herbal notes that complement the vegetables.
The salad is tossed gently with the dressing just before serving to coat the ingredients evenly, preserving their texture and preventing sogginess. Garnishing with additional dill and green onions helps enhance appearance and add subtle sharpness.
The salad will stay fresh for two to three hours when refrigerated, making it suitable as a light side dish or appetizer during warm weather meals.
