This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and cucumbers.

I'm not a huge fan of cucumbers, but I really enjoyed this salad. The tomatoes and onions helped to balance out the flavor of the cucumbers. The dressing was also really good.

This salad is a great way to use up summer tomatoes. I used cherry tomatoes and they worked perfectly. The salad is also very versatile. I added some feta cheese and olives to mine and it was delicious.
