FAQs //
Yes, feel free. I like to use baby cucumbers, they are the most crunchy and add a really nice bite.
You can slice your tomatoes, cucumbers and onions a few hours in advance, but don’t mix in the dressing as that tends to make the tomatoes go a little soft.
Yes, fresh herbs are really nice to use in this one. I would suggest dill, parsley or basil.
How To Store Cucumber and Tomato Salad //
Drain any excess liquid from the salad. Put it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Beyond that, the vegetables will start to turn mushy and lose their freshness. I don’t recommend freezing the salad; the high water content in the veggies will lead to them turning to mush upon thawing.
