Cucumber and Tomato Salad
Description
This simple salad uses peeled cucumbers and ripe tomatoes cut into bite-size pieces. A dressing composed of red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper is whisked together and poured over the vegetables. Tossing ensures an even coat. Allowing the salad to sit for 20 minutes or more at room temperature brings out the flavors and softens the vegetables slightly without losing their crispness. The acidity of the vinegar balances the sweetness of the tomatoes, while the olive oil adds smoothness.
It works well as a fresh side dish alongside grilled meats, sandwiches, or as part of a light lunch or picnic. The straightforward ingredients highlight the freshness of the produce without heavy seasoning.
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber peeled if needed
- 4 large tomato
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
Instructions
- Cut the vegetables into bite sized pieces.
- Whisk your olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Toss the tomatoes and cucumbers together in a large bowl and then pour the dressing over them, tossing until everything is well coated. Let the salad sit for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
- Enjoy
