Tomato and Pepper Salad

I make this all the time, and I’d even add greek yogurt at time of serving. I don’t understand why would anyone spoil that healthy salad with sugar though. Adding sugar is a bad idea, really. The yellow/red bell pepper along with the cherry tomatoes should be sweet enough, the salt would definitely bring the sweet taste to life. Dill would be a great addition as well. 3 stars instead of 5 for adding “sugar” to a salad.

Love it. A refreshing summer salad, and was able to get almost all of the ingredients from my garden. I added feta cheese, which complimented it well.

Delish! I used red wine vinegar and added a little olive oil and red onion.

This salad was delicious. It made me think of a salad my mom used to make in the summer when I was younger. Only thing I modified was exchanging the celery for onion. Also the longer you allow it to sit in the refrigerator the better it will be.

Great summer salad. Perfect with anything grilled. I added some green/spring onions. Recommend not adjusting the seasoning until the salad has set for an 1 hour.

Easy and delicious. I omitted the celery because I can’t digest it. Also, I accidentally added 3 Tablespoons of sugar. It was a huge hit! Fresh, crisp and lovely to look at.

Bright, cheerful, fresh. A good use of produce from our garden. Skipped the celery and added extra peppers. A hit with the family. I think next time I may jazz it up with some herbs. Will definitely make it again.

Used balsamic vinegar and added red onion

It was ok…but, my husband liked it better than I did. I thought it was a bit tasteless and needed something more? Salt? More sugar? I’m not sure. I made it as written, but the next time, I will make some changes to suit my tastes.

Easy to whip together and a very light and cool taste for summer meals.

This is an easy go to summer salad. I use red vinegar, add red onion and sprinkle with feta cheese before serving.

Super easy, fresh tasting and healthy. A great way to get some veggies! I went searching for a recipe that would help me use some blah tasting tomatoes (it’s winter, good tomatoes are tough to come by) and a cucumber that needed to get used asap. If diced small enough this could be a fresh tasting salsa alternative. It could also be served over some spinach as a leafy salad. The only change I made was the addition of some sweet onion. Thank you, this recipe is a keeper!

Loved this. Such a versatile salad – and the dressing is so simple. We had corn on the cob the evening I made the salad. I had one uneaten ear left over, and added it to the salad the next day, along with a jalapeño pepper. Was fantastic. This will definitely be a staple salad when our garden is ready. Its going to be even better with home grown tomatoes!

I used a yellow bell pepper instead of green, and didn’t have celery so I just left it out, but it was still fantastic!! It gets better as the days go on too.

Just made this and I want to eat more. I made this for my brother who has heart problems. All I added is another stalk of celery.

Love this salad! I can have a lot with little calories! Love the fresh sweet and tangy flavor! I omitted salt added red onion and substituted Truvia Baking Blend for the white sugar. Yum! Definitely making this again!

Amazing flavor! I followed the recipe exactly, used heirloom tomatoes and english cucumber and 2/3 Tbsp. Truvia Blend instead of 1 Tbsp. sugar. Wouldn’t change a thing. Fresh, delicious flavor and wonderful crunch.

Loved it! I am going to make this again….and again….trying different variations as submitted by other reviewers. 🙂

I liked the combo of veggies in this salad. I also added some red onion amd a drizzle of olive oil. My veggies must have been large, because I felt like I didn’t have enough dressing, so I doubled it. I cut the sugar in half because we like it more tangy than sweet. I let the cucumbers drain for 30 min, which I do with all cucumber salads now so that they’re not too watery.

I JUST made this – it hasn’t ‘aged’ yet – but even NOW it is SO GOOD!! Here are my changes, some from reading others reviews and also my picky husband (anyone out there have one of those?) First – no celery, Lawry’s Garlic salt (to taste), ½ teaspoon sugar, small amount really made a difference right away, ½ teaspoon honey. My husband does like ‘sweet’ way too much so, but I have noticed honey has worked on him and a little stevia, but even with small amount of ‘sweeteners’ used in my adjustment – I didn’t see a need for added stevia, but might later – to get him to eat salad. Fresh oregano, from our garden – oregano is a takeover plant – so I clip more than I use and I used a lot! Green onion, red onion, fresh lime juice (husband does NO vinegar . . . when it is ‘easy’ to recognize!). I was glad to find this recipe when tomatoes were only 99¢ a pound. Soon tomatoes and cucumbers will come from THE GARDEN – so this will be great produce use salad! Thanks STACYLYNN130

Try with balsamic, red onion or dill.
