Cucumber and tomato salad

At the farmer's market this weekend, I found this beautiful selection of fruits and veggies, including the Armenian cucumbers.

I used some of the cucumber and tomatoes to make this simple salad. You can add your favorite dressing/vinaigrette to this salad. I kept mine very simple and just added red wine vinegar.Approx. 90 Calories per serving. Recipe makes 1 serving.


Ingredients
  • 1 small red tomato (heirloom)
  • 3 yellow grape tomatoes
  • 1/8 cup red onion
  • 3/4 cup cucumber
  • 1/2 Tbs red wine vinegar
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions
  1. Cut red tomato into small wedges.
  2. Slice yellow tomatoes in half.
  3. Slice cucumber into thin slices (if using an Armenian cucumber, rub under water to remove the fuzz from the peel before slicing).
  4. Cut the red onion into thin slices.
  5. Arrage on plate.
  6. Add black pepper.
  7. Drizzle with vinegar or favorite dressing.
