Cucumber Tomato Salad is a refreshing dish inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, known for its simplicity and healthful profile. This vibrant salad typically features fresh cucumbers, ripe tomatoes, red onions, and herbs like parsley or dill, all tossed in a light vinaigrette of olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar. Packed with hydration and antioxidants, cucumbers provide vitamins K and C, while tomatoes contribute lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to heart health. Olive oil offers heart-friendly monounsaturated fats, enhancing nutrient absorption. Easily adaptable, some variations include feta cheese for a creamy texture or garlic for an aromatic kick. Low in calories and high in fiber, it’s a nutritious choice for weight management and overall wellness. However, high-sodium additions like feta or excessive salt should be moderated for those monitoring blood pressure. This salad is perfect as a side dish or light snack that celebrates fresh, wholesome ingredients.
