CHOPPED CUCUMBER AND TOMATO SALAD

Chopped Cucumber and Tomato Salad image

Here's an easy summer salad that's always a winner. There are many similar chopped salads served throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, but this version with halved sweet cherry tomatoes is especially attractive. Your own take can be a variation on this one: Feel free to use large tomatoes, chop the vegetables as small or large as you like (roughly chopped has its charms), add other herbs like basil, mint or dill, or swap the feta for mozzarella.

CUCUMBER AND TOMATO SALAD

Cucumber and Tomato Salad image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 English or seedless cucumber, diced
2 vine-ripe tomatoes, diced
Handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, a couple of splashes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
Salt and pepper

Steps:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Dress with vinegar and oil, salt and pepper, to your taste.

Tips:

Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Use tomatoes that are in season and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
Use fresh, crisp cucumbers: Choose cucumbers that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid cucumbers that are wilted or have yellow spots.
Red onion adds a sharp flavor: If you don't like the taste of raw red onion, you can substitute a milder onion, such as a white or yellow onion.
Fresh herbs brighten the salad: Use fresh herbs, such as dill, basil, or parsley, to add a pop of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use less since they are more concentrated.
Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Choose a flavorful, extra-virgin olive oil.
Let the salad marinate: Allowing the salad to marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

This tomato and cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its simple ingredients and delicious taste, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
