Refreshing Summer Time Tomato Cucumber Salad

This Tomato Cucumber salad is super delicious and can be enjoyed in around 30 minutes. It’s the perfect summer salad to enjoy. You can actually eat this salad any time of the year. It’s light and refreshing, the tomatoes are juicy, and the cucumbers have an amazing crisp with each bite. Fruits and vegetables taste and look better when they are in season. Needless to say, this salad not only tastes amazing, but the vibrant colors are absolutely beautiful!

If you are preparing this salad ahead of time, cover the salad and vinaigrette dressing separately and store in the refrigerator. 

If you want this to be a vegan option, do not add the cheese. You can have the cheese in a separate dish so that others can have the option to add cheese or not.

This delicious tomato cucumber salad can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main dish, or a side dish.

Enjoy!
