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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best taste. Varieties like Roma, Beefsteak, and Heirloom tomatoes work well.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, dill, or cilantro add a burst of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use.
  • Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
  • Add Crunch with Nuts or Seeds: For an extra layer of texture and flavor, add some chopped nuts or seeds to the salad. Pine nuts, walnuts, and sunflower seeds are all great options.
  • Experiment with Different Dressings: The classic dressing for tomato and cucumber salad is a simple vinaigrette, but you can also try other dressings like a creamy ranch dressing or a tangy lemon-herb dressing.
