Garden Tomato Cucumber Salad
2015-07-21 20:21:06
I love this time of year when my garden is producing fresh tomatoes daily. I am inspired to make simple and healthy salads. I love changing them up, it keeps everyone at Casa Linda inspired to eat a salad daily. And yes, I try to make a salad a day, my kids eat salad too. I encourage them to stay healthy by eating raw vegetables whenever possible. Today I picked a variety of small tomatoes from my garden and thought I would make a simple fresh garden salad. I had some Persian cucumbers on hand, I love them because they are tender and don't have large seeds. If you have never tried them, I highly recommend that you give them a try. They make it easy to prepare a quick lunch or dinner salad because you don't have to peel them. I also keep hearts of palm in my pantry for salads, they are so delicious and a great addition to nearly any salad. The feta was a last minute addition and it was the perfect topping for the fresh garden tomatoes.
