Fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions are combined with a spicy tomato vinaigrette to make this Cucumber Salad. I usually make this salad right before serving, but it can also be made several hours ahead of time and then chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Cucumber Salad with Spicy Tomato Vinaigrette

An abundance of fresh vegetables led me to try this Cucumber Salad for the first time many years ago. I wanted something a little different, so I scanned a couple of my cookbooks looking for a new dressing to try. I found this vinaigrette recipe in an old Cooking Light cookbook and it did not disappoint.

This salad was spicy and tangy and different from anything I’d tried in the past. My husband really liked it and my oldest son even requested more of it later as a snack. In the years since, I’ve made this salad many times and every time we make it, it gets two thumbs up. For an unforgettable meal, pair this salad with Easy Baked Falafel and impress your family!

    Yummm….

    This caught my eye in the "You Might Also Like" recipe feed. LOVE cukes and homegrown tomatoes! I'm a long-time vegetarian, so will have to substitute a veggie Worcestershire sauce and I have an absolutely delish Chipotle powder that might be amazing in this vinaigrette. Thanks for the idea.

      That isn't information that I track, Lori. There are a number of calorie / carb calculators online that should be able to help you with that. Enjoy!

    The salad is great! (I just posted on a cucumber salad with Asian flavors, that tomatoes could easily be added to.) But I do love your vinaigrette!
