1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a summer salad with cucumbers and tomatoes? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. The proportions of vegetables can be slightly changed according to your taste and availability. You can add other vegetables to taste. You can take one bell pepper of any color or halves of different colors. I take different ones. The greens can be any - dill, parsley, green onions, etc. Before starting cooking, wash all vegetables thoroughly in running water and dry.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the fresh cucumber into small cubes and place in a bowl in which you will prepare the salad. All vegetables can be cut in any way. If you want, you can cut the vegetables into large slices.

   Take tomatoes that are ripe, juicy, but not soft. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well and can ruin the appearance of the finished dish. Cut them in half and remove the stem. Dice the tomatoes and add to the salad bowl.

   Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the seeds. Cut the pepper into strips and then into cubes. Also add it to the salad.

I enjoyed making the summer cucumber and tomato salad! This is the most beloved and frequent guest on the table all summer until late autumn. For the salad, I tried to find the freshest and juiciest vegetables. I purchased cucumbers from a local greenhouse and cut off the skin in places. The bell pepper was red with thick walls. There were no green onions, so I replaced them with a couple of small heads of onions. I mixed the chopped vegetables, salted them and mixed them again to get a delicious juice). When I made the dressing, I decided to lightly marinate finely chopped onions in it, literally for 5 minutes. Thanks to this, the onion became tasty, not bitter, with a slight citrus sourness. In general, fragrant lemon juice complements fresh vegetables very well! We eat the healthiest and most delicious salad either on its own or in addition to meat and fish. Thanks for the reminder about the beginning of summer).
