This crunchy cucumber tomato salad is a basic element in our house from spring to the end of summer and I hope you also enjoy this simple salad.
When I think of easy, delicious, refreshing and nutritious salads for summer, this is the one that comes to mind.
Both cucumbers and tomatoes, the stars of this recipe, are moisturizing vegetables, accessible in the summer months and rich in antioxidants. In addition, cucumbers are one of the easiest vegetables to grow (in my opinion).
Pepinos contain vitamin K, potassium, pantotenic acid, phosphorus, copper, vitamin C and magnesium. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, especially lycopene. In addition to the tomatoes and chopped cucumbers, I like to add tasty red onion, tons of dill and fresh parsley, and occasionally Castelvetrano olives.
What I enjoy most of this salad is simplicity and flexibility: it takes about 10 minutes to join and can be enjoyed as a garrison or a main dish.
To make this an input dish, increase fats, proteins and carbohydrates with starch following the fundamental system five for a balanced plate. Some ideas to increase the components of balanced food include: avocado, edamame, grilled shrimp, fish, smoked salmon, chicken, tofu, boiled eggs, hemp seeds, cooked quinoa and the list continues.
