Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad:
Ingredients:
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for a lighter option)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash the cucumbers and tomatoes thoroughly. Peel the cucumbers if desired, though leaving the peel on adds color and nutrients. Slice the cucumbers thinly and dice the tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion.
- Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. If you prefer a thinner dressing, you can add a splash of milk or water.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
- Dress the Salad:
- Pour the dressing over the cucumber, tomato, and onion mixture. Gently toss until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Chill and Serve:
- Cover the salad bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to a sealed container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish and Enjoy:
- Just before serving, garnish the salad with additional chopped dill if desired. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish alongside grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a light lunch on its own.
Feel free to adjust the ingredients according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad!
