PRO TIP:

Let the salad sit for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature before serving to enhance the flavor. If you’re prepping ahead, store the dressing separately and toss just before serving to keep everything crisp.

FAQs about this Cucumber Tomato Salad:

We like cherry or grape tomatoes, but any variety of fresh tomatoes will work.

Yes, though it’s best to store the dressing separately and toss it right before serving for the freshest texture.

No, but chilling helps the flavors blend. It’s great at room temp too, especially on a hot summer day.
