You’ve got a cucumber and a couple tomatoes lying around… What can you make with it that’s…different? Use the tomatoes for the dressing! This simple, colorful twist on a salad made everyday in the home of Greeks everywhere is a feast for the eyes, and easily dressed up into infinite variations.

The color of bright mac-and-cheese, and actually quite mild-tasting, you can start with this recipe and then add your favorite salad fixins…black kalamata olives (sun-cured if you can find them!), sliced red onions, chopped raw pistachios, thinly sliced spinach or watercress…the list could really go on forever.

A great dish to bring to a raw pot luck, an excellent base for a filling for today’s Salad Sandwich… it’s just a great versatile base you can play with a lot of different ways!

Many people are ignorant of the immense health benefits of cucumber and would avoid eating cucumber where possible. Fresh cucumber may taste “bland” to some but its thirst-quenching and cooling properties are refreshing. It acts as an anti-oxidant when taken together with fried and barbequed foods.
