Summer Ripe Tomatoes

Creamy Tomato and Cucumber Salad is best made with ripe summer tomatoes. They are so juicy and have such great flavor. I could eat them every single day during the summer.

Creamy Dressing

The dressing is just a little creamy so that it is not too heavy. It’s light and refreshing and enhances the flavor of the tomatoes and cucumbers.

Recipe Tips

I use a sweet Vidalia onion for this recipe but a red onion would work well too.

If you want to add some spice, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
