When the garden is filled with luscious, ripe red tomatoes and oodles of crunchy cucumbers, I love to pick a few of each and put them together in a refreshing summer salad.
I made this salad for guests recently and it was received enthusiastically. Then when a friend invited us for lunch a few days ago, she made the salad for us. I’m sure it tasted even better when someone else made it!
There is nothing quite like a vine-ripened tomato that has soaked up the best of summer’s rays, drank in the morning dew and the rain from scattered showers, and sits waiting at the peak of perfection to be enjoyed and savored.
You can make this salad for one or for a group, just the proportions the same.
Fresh Summer Salad
3 cups cucumber, peeled and sliced
3 cups tomato, cut into bite-sized pieces
1cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
Mix together and serve immediately.
