TIPS FOR TOMATO AND CUCUMBER SALAD

  • Best Flavour: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and cucumbers for the best taste.
  • Red Onion Soak: If red onions are too sharp, soak them in cold water for 5 minutes before adding to the salad.
  • Serving: It’s best to serve this salad fresh, but you can make it a few hours ahead.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Cheese: Add crumbled feta cheese for a tangy, creamy addition.
  • Herbs: Mix fresh herbs like basil, mint, or parsley for added freshness.
  • Protein: For a more filling dish, add grilled chicken, chickpeas, or tofu.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  • Make Ahead: You can prep the salad ingredients and dressing separately, then combine just before serving.
  • Not Freezing: This salad is unsuitable for freezing as the vegetables will lose their texture.
