Cherry Tomato and Cucumber Salad

Looking for a great way to use those delicious cherry tomatoes on your counter? This Cherry Tomato and Cucumber Salad is a great quick addition to any meal.

I used to be all alone in my household of four. In the early stages of this blog, I made this recipe, and no one ate it with me 🙁

Now, I have a household of 6, and everyone ate it and loved it lol. It's funny how time can change things. I will never get over all the growing up everyone has done, whether it's the family liking tomato basil bruschetta or a pesto goat cheese pizza, but I'm all for it.

Ok, so this recipe is pretty basic, but it packs a bunch of flavor and awesomeness. As with most salads, a key part of it tasting good is fresh ingredients.

So this dish is usually made pretty quickly after we get groceries or pick tomatoes from the garden. Sometimes I will swap out a dish inside the meal prep for weight loss plan for this as well.

Ingredient Notes

Cherry Tomatoes - These have become a household favorite. Even Dustin eats them now, which is crazy. The pop of flavor every time you bite into one is just perfection. If you're lucky to find cherry bombs or local fresh cherry tomatoes, even better.

English Cucumbers - these are my favorite type of cucumbers because the skin is thinner and not bitter or waxy. I almost always use these in any dish where I want cucumbers 🙂

Red Onion - we like adding the flavor of very, very thinly sliced red onions to this dish because it also adds a little crunch and heat.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - I always use high-quality extra virgin olive oil - this isn't an area to skimp when making a dressing.

Feta Cheese - The feta is optional with this salad. Without it, the salad is a delicious vegan and non-dairy option. With feta, the salad has an extra creaminess which balances nicely with the acids.

How To Make Cherry Tomato Cucumber Salad
