How To Make Cucumber Tomato Salad
There really is no wrong time to make this bright and flavorful salad, but when the cucumbers and tomatoes are in peak season (Summer time), that’s when this lovely side dish recipe shines.
I’m using the long English cucumbers in this recipe because the peels are nice and thin and the seeds are also really small and easy to eat.
If you don’t have English cucumbers, you can easily use regular cucumbers that are peeled.
If the seeds are too coarse, feel free to scoop them out before chopping and adding to the salad.
Dressing for Cucumber Salad
Not much is needed here, as we’re really wanting to let the fresh flavors of the cucumbers, tomatoes and onions shine. I’m using equal parts oil and vinegar because I simply adore how the vinegar really boosts the flavors.

How To Make Cucumber Tomato Salad
There really is no wrong time to make this bright and flavorful salad, but when the cucumbers and tomatoes are in peak season (Summer time), that’s when this lovely side dish recipe shines.
- Combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and herbs in a large bowl.
- Place the dressing ingredients (see below) in a small mason jar and shake.

If you don’t have English cucumbers, you can easily use regular cucumbers that are peeled.
If the seeds are too coarse, feel free to scoop them out before chopping and adding to the salad.

Dressing for Cucumber Salad
Not much is needed here, as we’re really wanting to let the fresh flavors of the cucumbers, tomatoes and onions shine. I’m using equal parts oil and vinegar because I simply adore how the vinegar really boosts the flavors.
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Tips and Variations:
- Swap out the white onion with a purple onion for a more mild flavor.
- You can use fresh or dried herbs. If using dried, use half the amount called for the in the recipe.
- I’m using grape tomatoes, but you can also use regular plump tomatoes that are chopped.
- Keep the salad covered and stored in the fridge until ready to serve. The flavors blend nicely up to 24 hours in advance.
