Equipment

Notes

  • 1. When preparing the Cucumber and Tomato Salad, ensure to choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes and crisp, fresh cucumbers for the best taste and texture. Opt for heirloom or vine-ripened tomatoes for a sweeter flavor profile and use English cucumbers for their mild taste and minimal seeds.
  • 2. Enhance the flavors of the salad by marinating the vegetables in a simple vinaigrette dressing made of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and fresh herbs like basil or dill. Allowing the salad to marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • 3. Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with a pinch of sea salt and a crack of black pepper to season the vegetables and enhance their natural flavors. Consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or toasted pine nuts for a burst of savory richness and texture.
