This super easy cucumber and tomato salad is the perfect companion for a summer grill out. The ingredients are very simple and the dressing comes together really quickly. No need to peel the cucumbers or seed the tomatoes. By skipping these steps you will prevent waste, save time, and preserve the nutrition. The key to the delicious flavor of this salad is to make sure to slice the cucumbers and onions really thin. You can use a box grater or food processor with a slicing tool, but I prefer to use a mandoline to get a paper-thin result. The fresh taste will have you craving more and you will find yourself making this salad over and over until tomato season is complete!
