This post is for all you folks wondering what to do with your bounty of cucumbers and tomatoes that you planted in your garden and have now come to harvest. Or maybe you’re just looking for fun ways to eat more veggies. This “pickled” summer salad is a refreshing favorite and a staple in my fridge throughout the summer months. It makes a great accompaniment to a sandwich at lunch or can serve as a dinner side or hydrating snack after sweating it out outdoors.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are about 94% & 95% water, making them a great option in summer months, especially. Did you know that water-rich foods, in addition to drinking water, can help you stay hydrated? Dig in!
