STEPS FOR HOW TO MAKE TOMATO CUCUMBER SALAD WITH DILL

This recipe is basically a whopping two steps. I think we can handle this one, right?

First, in a large bowl, add the vinegar, fresh dill, sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk it all together.

Then, in the same bowl, add the tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. Toss it all together gently because nobody likes mushy tomatoes.

That’s pretty much it! Just cover the bowl and pop it in the refrigerator to let your tomatoes and cucumbers marinate.

• Keep it in the fridge until it is nice and chilled, about 1 – 2 hours.
• Make this tomato cucumber salad a day ahead if you’d like–the flavors will intensify overnight.
• Choose ripe but very firm tomatoes so they’ll stay firmer for longer in the fridge.

After it has had an hour or two to chill, you’re ready to serve your Tangy Tomato Cucumber Salad with Dill. Use a slotted spoon and serve into small bowls.

Top with feta cheese, and enjoy your fresh and healthy summer salad!
