Cucumber, Tomato Summer Salad

Submitted by: OILPAINTER
Cucumber, Tomato Summer Salad

Introduction

This is very light and delicious, especially in the summer when the vegetables are fresh and flavorful! A great way to eat your vegetables! This is very light and delicious, especially in the summer when the vegetables are fresh and flavorful! A great way to eat your vegetables!
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    VEGETABLES:
    3 medium Tomatoes, chopped
    1 medium Cucumber, chopped
    1 large Green Bell Pepper, chopped
    1/2 medium Red Onion, chopped

    DRESSING:
    2 tbsp lemon juice
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 tsp fresh ground pepper
    1 tsp salt

Directions

Place the vegetables into a medium-sized glass or plastic bowl (do not use metal, it will react to the lemon juice).

In a small bowl, mix the dressing and pour over the vegetables.

Gently toss all ingredients to coat evenly. Serve immediately. The longer it sets the juicier it gets.

We eat this with a spoon to get every drop of juice! (Leftovers become juicy and are a little like Gazpacho without the spice... delicious!)

NOTE: Adding fresh parsley, mint or cilantro is also very good! It is still good if you reduce the salt for lower sodium.

Recipe makes Four 8-oz servings = 32 oz total.

    I really like this salad and it's so easy to make! Since I don't like onions, I did pick out all the red onions. The rest of my household wanted the onions, lol. It is really good! - 6/30/10

    I used 1/4 cup lemon(also made with lime- just as good!) and 2 Tbls olive oil for that amount of salt and pepper. Adding fresh mint or cilantro is also very good! - 9/19/09

    I also add boccocini fresh mozzarella balls. To cut calories for dressing, I use bottled fat free low sodium zesty italian dressing, with pepper. It tastes just as good!! 2nd pic uploaded was my version!!! - 5/15/12

    Loved the recipe, but where is the 593 mg of salt coming from..Yikes... is it from the 1 tsp of salt added. I don't add any salt, just some grated garlic and it is great. I can only give it three stars because of the salt. Otherwise, it would be 5. - 8/8/11

    Fresh and healthy way to use garden produce. Next time might substitute balsamic vinegar for lemon juice for a bit more flavor - 8/21/10
