Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad

Need a quick side dish idea that uses some easy to find veggies, whether they be from the grocery store or your summer garden?  This creamy cucumber tomato salad jazzes up some everyday veggies and adds a punch of flavor.  This combination is perfect as a side dish with your favorite grilled chicken, hamburgers or other main protein meals.  This salad comes together in under 20 minutes, making this a great last minute option when your day is full and you need something fast, or just don’t feel like dealing with a hot oven. 

Minimal Time. Fresh Ingredients. 

• Tomatoes– we love to use cherry or grape tomatoes in this recipe as they are less watery but any type of tomato will work great!
• Cucumbers– use your cucumbers straight from your garden or my personal preference when buying from the store, an english cucumber.
• Red Onion– I have never been a big fan of big chunks of onions in my food BUT the red onion adds a great added flavorful to the mix whether you decide to bite into one or save them for someone else 😉

Creamy Dill Dressing

The dressing for this dish is what brings all the flavor to your veggies.  By mixing ingredients like mayo, garlic, a splash of vinegar, dill, and a touch of sugar you have a dressing that you can personalize or leave as is.  We like a touch of dill in our salad but you can always add more if you want the taste to be stronger.
