Tomato Cucumber salad is a classic, easy to make dish (or meal). It's perfect for a refreshing snack during summer and a great way to use up homegrown veggies.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are already abundant in the garden so of course I'm making a few batches of this delicious salad.
This salad can be made ahead in the morning and placed in the fridge to marinate all day for an evening meal. Yum!
The dressing is something I like to switch up every now and then so I am including 2 different dressing options below. I like the second dressing the best.
