4.25 22 Published Jun 17, 2024, Updated Aug 22, 2024 The veggies I used were straight from Isaac’s parents’ garden. The tomatoes were plump, sweet and juicy while the cucumber was cool, crisp and refreshing. The two, paired together with red onion and a bit of seasoning = perfection. I love serving this salad alongside grilled chicken kabobs, yogurt marinated chicken or a turkey burger for the perfect summer meal!
How to Make This Salad
Cucumber Tomato Salad Serving Suggestions
This refreshing cucumber tomato salad pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. It can be served at a summer potluck or BBQ or as a simple side salad alongside a protein for dinner. Serve it alongside:
Add cheese: Add crumbled feta cheese or mozzarella balls. Add herbs: Beyond Italian seasoning, fresh herbs can add a burst of flavor. Consider basil, parsley, mint or fresh dill for a refreshing twist that complements the cucumbers and tomatoes beautifully. Add avocado: The creaminess that avocado would add to this salad would pair perfectly with the cucumbers and tomatoes. Use a different dressing: While I love the simplicity of this dressing, feel free to switch it up by using this red wine vinaigrette, balsamic vinaigrette or white balsamic vinaigrette. Add more veggies: Amplify the salad with additional veggies such as bell peppers, kalamata olives, or artichoke hearts.
Chicken: Serve it alongside these cilantro lime chicken burgers or this air fryer chicken breast. Salmon: I love my air fryer salmon or this balsamic glazed salmon. Turkey: Pair it with these spinach and feta turkey burgers for a Mediterranean vibe! Shrimp: You can’t go wrong with grilled shrimp or these grilled shrimp skewers. Vegetarian: If you’re looking for a vegetarian main to serve with this salad my faves are these black bean burgers and cauliflower tacos.

The only thing, is that the cucumbers and tomatoes will release some liquid as it sits, so you might need to drain any excess juices before serving.
