Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh tomatoes chopped*
- 1 large cucumber thinly sliced
- ½ medium-sized red onion thinly sliced
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese optional**
- 3 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil to taste
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar***
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves thinly sliced
- 1 sprig fresh dill chopped
- ½ tsp sea salt to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper to taste
- 2 to 3 Tbsp Balsamic reduction optional
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and toss everything together until well-combined. There is no need to prepare the dressing separately from the salad, so feel free to toss every last ingredient into one bowl and mix everything up.
- Taste the salad for flavor and add more olive oil, vinegar, sea salt, or black pepper to taste. If you’re feeling fancy and would like to make a balsamic reduction sauce, feel free to drizzle one to two tablespoons of balsamic reduction over the salad.
- Serve this easy cucumber tomato salad alongside any main dish, and enjoy!
- Store cucumber tomato salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Note: If you would like to store the salad for more than 1 day, I suggest mixing in the fresh chopped basil and mozzarella just before serving for the best results. This ensures the salad stays tasting as fresh as possible.
Notes
- *Use your favorite kind of tomatoes. I used small tomatoes (like grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes), which I sliced in half. You can use vine-ripened tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, roma tomatoes, and more! Just be sure they are ripe and juicy.
- **I use Ciliegine (cherry size) small mozzarella balls and I cut them in half. Fresh mozzarella can be found in the deli section of the grocery store, near all the other cheeses.
- ***You can use lemon juice, cider vinegar, or rice vinegar here too.
