This easy cucumber tomato salad is perfect for those days when you need a quick and tasty side dish that doesn’t require a ton of ingredients or time. The crisp crunch of cucumber contrasts with the fresh, vibrant taste of hothouse tomatoes and the bite of red onion, all blended together under a blanket of tangy Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing that adds a bright pop of vinegar and a subtle sweetness. 

Because it only requires three base ingredients, plus dressing and seasonings, you can tweak the recipe to your taste with amazing results. Sub in heirloom tomatoes for a stronger flavor, swap traditional cucumbers for English ones if you’re not a fan of the seeds, or top your tomato cucumber salad with grilled chicken or fish for a protein-rich main dish.
