Although we’ve had a lot of cold and rainy days this summer, our apartment tends to overheat rapidly. We learned quickly after moving in that “southern exposure” is a nice way of saying “the sun will beat down on your apartment all day, making it nearly unbearable by sunset.” Yeah, we use the A/C a lot.
I made this salad on one of those nights. The Filthy Fowl loves tomato and cucumber salad, but I wanted to give it a little more flavor. I ended up with this, and although it seems almost silly to post such a simple recipe, it’s too good not to share. Enjoy!
Cucumber and Tomato Salad
from the CityGirl Kitchen
Ingredients:
1 pint grape tomatoes (or a little less), halved
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
juice of 1 lemon, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
Salt & pepper
Directions:
Combine tomatoes and cucumber in serving bowl. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over vegetables and toss to coat. Sprinkle with mint, salt and pepper and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
Yum I love simple salads like this!
mmm sounds very summery & refreshing!
I stumbled across your blog looking for healthy, simple dinner options and found a lot more! You recipes are definitely healthy without being snooty or intimidating and seem designed for me – my finance and I recently moved in together and are learning how to cook more than a grilled cheese of plate of spaghetti or burgers on the grill! I also love your generous use of shrimp, my favorite crustacean.
Keep up the good work!
