Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Mayo

I added some dry ranch seasoning mix (to taste), which it took it the next level and it tasted phenomenal!

Really good! You might want to cut back on the black pepper, but other than that it tastes great. Very simple and comes together quickly. A nice summertime side dish.

Fresh and simple way to use fresh tomato cucumbers from the garden. I salted the cucumbers first to draw off some of the water. I sprinkled with two tsp salt and let sit for 30 min. Then I rinsed and drained off the water.

Ok guys, recipe is fine. But let the pro step in to do some edits. To all those ingredients add dill, and instead of mayonnaise add sour cream. Also some chopped radish is ok. But most importantly get the mayonnaise out, it doesn’t go well with tomato cucumber.

It was very good. I added a little vinegar, gave it a kick.

This was absolutely delicious. Instead of fresh tomatoes (not in season yet) I cut up cherry tomatoes. The red onion just made it pop.

I just needed something. After making it exactly as described, I tried adding lemon juice but that didn’t help.

Awesome for Mediterranean lovers. Refreshing for hot Summer days.

Inspired by the dozens of ‘I ADDED DILL!’ comments, I went completely off the map making this one. The base recipe was very bland, and needed the inclusion of more flavors. Inspired by my new favorite chicken topping, tzatziki, I subbed out the mayo for full fat Greek yogurt, and added the juice and zest of an unwaxed lemon and a little EVOO. Chives and fresh mint in place of the red onions, and a finally addition of sweet green peas (I ended up with far more dressing than I had cucumbers and tomatoes for) and it’s perfection. I did not add salt, as I did not want the vegetables to give up too much liquid.

LOVE IT AND EASY

In addition to the recipe I also added sour cream and dill weed to add more flavor.

I added fresh basil, since I had it growing on my lanai. Very yummy salad.

Like others, I added 1/2 tsp of dill and used less black pepper. I also added a splash of lemon juice and 1/2 packet of truvia.

I’ve been making this type of summer salad for years. This one differs from mine mostly in that I dice all the veggies, instead of slicing then halving some. Still, you get the same delicious flavors from everything which adds up to a great taste! This is especially good in the months where you can harvest your own veggies and literally go from garden to table, or get them easily at a farmers market or grocery store. It’s very simple, quick, easy to make, and on these hot days, it’s a nice cool add on to a meal, or can be a stand alone meal. It’s that good, and that good for you. Plus it’s very open to adding more of your own favorite spices(I like mine with a bit of smoked Paprika, sometimes a bit of dill or parsley, and even some thin sliced baby portabellos on occasion)but it’s great just with the few ingredients listed. For me, this is a “must have” in the summer, and an “I still want this” in the cooler months. My only advice is read the label on the mayo to avoid unneeded cholesterol, fat and added sugars, and TRY to get organic veggies if you can. You can always grow your own with very little space or effort so you’ll KNOW where your food came from. This simple but delicious recipe is 5 stars any day of the week for me!

This is VERY BLAND recipe! It needs some sort of kick for flavor.

nothing better than making this delicious salad with fresh tomato and fresh cucumber. I took advice of other reviewers and added a dash of vinegar and dill. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is a great salad. I added a bit of dill to it. I love to pair this with a whole roasted chicken. Refreshing.

Very tasty and super easy.

Added a little dill (just my preference). Love this easy to throw together salad/.

Liked this one a lot. Very simple and yummy.

Just made it for the first time except I cooked the onions, added cucumber dill sauce instead of mayo and a little garlic and its fantastic 🙂
