SARASOTA'S CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD IN A CREAMY DILL SAUCE

Sarasota's Cucumber Tomato Salad in a Creamy Dill Sauce image

Classic and nothing fancy, but a great summertime salad. Growing up in Michigan, we always had a big garden, as well as tons of tomatoes. This became one of my favorite salads. Now, my Mom used to make it with sour cream back in the days ... but nowadays, I use plain yogurt which I think makes it a bit lighter. However, you can still use sour cream or even a mix of the two if you prefer.
