CREAMY TOMATO-CUCUMBER SALAD



Creamy Tomato-Cucumber Salad image

This is an easy and delicious recipe to make when you have an overload of garden-fresh cucumbers, I use cherry tomatoes sliced in half since I have an abundance of them from my garden, and I use wine vinegar for this but regular white vinegar will do just fine! You might prefer a sweeter dressing so adjust the sugar and vinegar to taste. I have even added in some small broccoli and/or cauliflower florets to this.

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.

Tips for a Refreshing Creamy Cucumber Tomato Dill Salad

- Choose ripe, firm cucumbers and tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. - Use fresh dill for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but it will have a less pronounced flavor. - Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers and tomatoes. This will help them absorb the dressing better. - Make sure the dressing is well-chilled before adding it to the salad. This will help keep the salad refreshing and crisp. - If you want a creamier salad, you can add more sour cream or yogurt to the dressing. - Serve the salad immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
