Healthy Cucumber-Tomato Salad

This recipe is excellent! Perfect for a hot summer day. I didn't have any fresh basil on hand so I used dried and it turned out really well.

Kari - I love this simple salad. I use sweet onions (vidalia, Walla Walla, Maui or Spanish) I can usually find one of them. I use lemon basil (it's a small leafed basil and very good) Love this salad with a steak and baked potatoe. I confess I do like a bit of dressing but usually use a no fal Dijon/ Tarragon dressing - Thanks for posting this good salad

As a Weight Watchers member, I am constantly looking for good, low calorie recipes. This salad was excellent. Since I didn't have fresh basis, I used fresh cilantro instead and it was quite tasty.

I also will be making this all summer. It is a perfectly refreshing side dish with simple flavours. I used a 1/4 clove of garlic with regular salt instead of the garlic salt, and served it with small portions of Macaroni and Cheese (#19843). Delicious, thanks! Ooh, I'll bet the leftover juice would be a nice addition to a Bloody Caesar or Mary.

I made this late last night for today's cook-out, and just HAD to try a little taste this morning. This is a lovely, cool, and refreshing salad, and I love the fact that it doesn't have a heavy, fat-laden dressing covering up the wonderful fresh flavors of the veggies. I think this would also make a great dip for tortilla chips! Thank you!! ~Manda:)

Have made this several times. Originally followed the recipe and enjoyed this very much. Also tried substituting dill for the basil which was very good. The last time I made this I added a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar-that was the best yet! Will be making this often.

Quick, Easy, and Delicious...what more can you ask for. I had fresh tomaotes and cucumbers but not alot of other ingredients so this recipe was perfect. Nice light side dish to go with our grilled steaks tonight. Thanks we all enjoyed this dish and I will add this one with all of my other keepers!!

Kari- This was very good!! I didn't have any basil(fresh or dried), so I used dill weed-it was good. I will be making this again and again during the warmer months. Thanks for posting.

This was superb! Light and fresh and very tasty. A great basic salad that can be adapted so easily! I added a minced clove of garlic and didn't have any basil so I mixed in some greek seasonings. I crumbled up some feta and it was delish! Next time, maybe I'll add some lemon juice and some chickpeas. There's a MILLION ways to make this. What a keeper!

I made this last night and actually didn't let it chill for an hour but it was still very good. It had a nice light fresh taste. A nice change from the lettuce salad I usually have.

Yummy. I tried it with both lemon basil and regular basil and it's great either way. Go's really well with grilled tuna.

This recipe was so easy and so good at the same time. The only thing that I would do differently is not add quite so much onion, but a really refreshing way to use up those extra veggies!

So simple yet so great. I used fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden. The flavor was so nice and fresh. I loved it! Thanks!

Oops, I just saw this recipe mentioned on the boards and realized I forgot to review it after I made it; sorry Kari. This was so refreshing and tasted delicious. I made it with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and onion from our garden. I didn't have fresh basil, so I used dried basil leaves. My husband also thoroughly enjoyed it, in fact he took it in his lunch the next two days. Next time I plan to try it with halved cherry tomatoes. Thanks for sharing your recipe Kari!

This is definitley a keeper. The longer it marinates the better it gets. Can hardly wait for fresh Illinois tomatoes as will make this one time and again. Took to work and fellow workers scarfed it down and asked for recipe!

a keeper - I did not have fresh basil so used dried, and it was very good. I love having a recipe that does not look or taste "diet", but fits into my food plan so easily.

This was a great and very easy salad to make. I used an English cucumber. This will be a wonderful salad to have with company as you don't have to worry about a dressing and can prepare it ahead. It also looks good. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

I doubled the recipe as this was for my family and used Roma tomatoes. I added a little balsamic to it and it was wonderful! The whole family dug in and there were ZERO left overs...but more than one request for the recipe! thanks!!!
