Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Creamy Herb Dressing
Yield: 8 servings
With fresh vegetables and a creamy herbed dressing, my simple cucumber and tomato salad is the perfect goes-with-anything side dish for summer!
Ingredients
- 2 medium English cucumbers, sliced in half lengthwise and then sliced into ¼"-thick half moons
- 2 cups halved grape or cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup very thinly sliced red onion
- ½ cup full-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons good quality mayonnaise
- 2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
- ¾ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, fold together cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion.
- In a small bowl, stir together the creamy herb dressing ingredients: sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, dill, mint, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour dressing over the vegetables and fold to combine evenly. Serve right away. See Notes below if preparing ahead of time.
Notes
This salad has the best texture and flavor when eaten as soon as you finish making it.
If you want to prepare the salad ahead of time, store the vegetables in one covered container and the dressing in a separate covered container, both in the refrigerator. Then fold the two together right before serving. Over time, the salt in the dressing will draw moisture out of the vegetables and give the dressing a watery texture.
