This Crunchy Cucumber Tomato Salad is a staple in our residence from spring till the tip of summer time and I hope you get pleasure from this easy salad too!
After I consider simple, scrumptious, refreshing, and nutritious salads for the summer time, that is the one which involves thoughts.
Each cucumbers and tomatoes—the celebrities of this recipe— are each hydrating greens, accessible in the summertime months, and wealthy in antioxidants. Moreover, cucumbers are one of many best greens to develop (for my part).
Cucumbers include vitamin Ok, potassium, pantothenic acid, phosphorus, copper, vitamin C, and magnesium. Tomatoes are wealthy in antioxidants, most notably lycopene. Along with chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, I like including zesty crimson onion, tons of recent dill and parsley, and infrequently castelvetrano olives.
What I get pleasure from most about this salad is the simplicity and suppleness—it takes about 10 minutes to throw collectively and will be loved as a facet dish or an entree.
To make this an entree dish, enhance the fats, protein, and starchy carbohydrate(s) by following the Foundational 5 system for a balanced plate. A number of concepts so that you can enhance the balanced meal parts embody: avocado, edamame, grilled shrimp, fish, smoked salmon, hen, tofu, boiled eggs, hemp seeds, cooked quinoa, and the listing goes on.
