Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 3 cups Miniature Cucumbers, sliced and halved
  • 3 cups Grape Tomatoes, sliced

Dressing

  • 3 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon Dried Dill

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumbers: Peel and slice the cucumbers, then cut the slices in half to ensure bite-sized pieces.
  2. Slice the tomatoes: Cut the grape tomatoes into halves or thirds depending on their size for balanced texture and flavor.
  3. Toss ingredients together: In a large bowl, combine the prepared cucumbers and tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and dried dill. Mix well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
  4. Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle a little extra dried dill over the salad for enhanced flavor before serving. Serve immediately for best freshness.

Notes

  • For a fresh herb alternative, use fresh dill instead of dried—use about 1 tablespoon fresh dill.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste if desired.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
  • Miniature cucumbers can be substituted with regular cucumbers if unavailable; just slice them thinner.
  • Additional toppings like feta cheese or sliced red onions can be added for more flavor variety.
