This quick and easy Cucumber Tomato Salad is bursting with flavor from ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, fresh herbs, and a tasty four-ingredient vinaigrette dressing. I love to serve this side dish with grilled chicken or grilled salmon. This summer salad is also a great vegetarian lunch or light dinner for those hot days when turning on the stove is not desirable.
