Healthy Cucumber-Tomato Salad

Recipe #28662 | 1¼ hours | 1¼ hours prep | add private note

Since I don't like salad dressing, I created this simple salad. Not only is it yummy but it is better for you since the only dressing it does have is the one it creates. After we finish eating the veggies, I like to strain the seeds out of the juice and use it as a salad dressing substitute on a green salad. Since you make it in a bowl with a sealable lid, it is great for picnics or potlucks. The prep time also includes refrigeration time.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Everyone liked this recipe. The only comment I received from my guests would be to add less onion next time. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It was so fast and easy to make.

    I used Homemade Gourmet's Garlic Basil Seasoning, but I think next time I will add some salt since I didn't use garlic "salt." I also added a splash of balsamic vinegar. I wanted to use yellow and light orange tomatoes as well as red ones to add some color, but they weren't available at the store so I used yellow bell pepper. I finally did find the tomatoes, so I am going to try it again tonight using those.

    Kari - I love this simple salad. I use sweet onions (vidalia, Walla Walla, Maui or Spanish) I can usually find one of them. I use lemon basil (it's a small leafed basil and very good) Love this salad with a steak and baked potatoe. I confess I do like a bit of dressing but usually use a no fal Dijon/ Tarragon dressing - Thanks for posting this good salad

    Have made this several times. Originally followed the recipe and enjoyed this very much. Also tried substituting dill for the basil which was very good. The last time I made this I added a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar-that was the best yet! Will be making this often.
