We love this tomato and cucumber salad because it’s light and refreshing, perfect for barbeques and picnics! Pick up a few tomato plants from Back Home on the Farm and use your tomatoes for this delicious side dish.
You’ll need:
For the salad:
- 5 large tomatoes, quartered
- 1 English cucumber, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 large red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 pinch kosher salt and 1 pinch black pepper
For the dressing:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt + 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or brown sugar (optional for low-carb, Keto, or sugar-free diets)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
To make:
Combine all the vegetables, herbs, salt, and pepper in a salad bowl.
In another bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Refrigerate and serve when ready.
