This ” Cucumber and Tomato Salad ” is so healthy and easy to prepare. There’s no cooking or equipment involved. All you need are a couple of basic ingredients and you have a yummy salad in no time.
I am health-conscious guy. I eat healthy food as much as possible and exercise regularly.
Having said that, I barely eat salads or should I say I tend not to eat salads. It’s more of “I don’t know how to make a good salad” thing. Plus, ingredients for a salad can be really expensive.
Good thing my father-in-law knows salads inside and out. He can make a good tasting salad with only a few ingredients. He can and will only make different salad dressings from scratch. He is not a fan of store-bought dressings. He said they taste different.
He probably woke up at 3ish in the morning to create this cucumber and tomato salad. Well, he usually cooks early in the morning when everybody is still sleeping. He likes it that way. No baby distractions, no noise, etc.
I took a spoonful of the salad just to taste and ended up eating my share of the salad. Mind you, the salad was supposed to be for lunch, meaning it was my additional food for lunch at work. Well, at least I started my day by eating good food.
This is the simplest, easiest salad I’ve ever seen. With just a couple of basic ingredients, you can make this yummy, healthy, easy salad in no time.
I say you can make this in less than 15 minutes. This sweet and sour tasting salad can bring an extra oomph to your day. I know it did bring some extra energy for me to start my day in a good slate.
