Cucumbers are one of the stars of summer vegetable gardening. Cucumber salads are a fun side dish option in warmer months. Not only are they light, refreshing and delicious, but healthy, too. The health benefits of cucumbers are vast, plus they are a hydrating vegetable.
This cucumber and tomato salad was created because of what I had fresh on hand: cucumbers, tomatoes and fresh dill. With the addition of a sliced shallot, fresh lemon juice and olive oil, I had a tasty cucumber salad as a side dish for dinner or lunch. Simply toss together all the ingredients. Add a much or little lemon juice, olive oil and Tuscan seasoning as you like. I added the juice of half of a big lemon, a couple teaspoons of olive oil and a sprinkling of Tuscan seasoning. If you don't have a shallot, you could use red onion instead.
