Salad of tomatoes and cucumbers

August, and cucumbers with tomatoes ripen much faster than we can eat or canned them. In the north of Ukraine, cucumbers are almost gone, tomatoes are also gradually receding, however, among residents of more southern regions, tomatoes are probably still twig and twig.

What is the simplest thing you can make from tomatoes and cucumbers (just wash and chop doesn't count)? Naturally, a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers. It would seem, what could be simpler?

However, communicating with other housewives and visiting them, I was surprised to find that in almost every house this salad is prepared in some special way. Someone refills with oil, someone sour cream, someone - some more complex homemade dressings.

Cutting, proportions, additional ingredients - everything changes depending on the mood of the hostess or the preferences of the household.

Well, I'm sharing my own version of making a tomato and cucumber salad. And in the comments I will be glad to read how this salad is prepared in your home.

Ingredients for my cucumber and tomato salad:

Tomatoes - 1 kg
Cucumbers - 500 gr
Onion - 1 pc.
Sunflower oil - 2 tbsp l.
Vinegar - 1 tbsp. l.
Salt - 1 tsp
Ground black pepper -. h. l.
Greens to taste

In general, the recipe can probably be omitted - we all know perfectly well how a salad is prepared. The main thing here is the combination of ingredients, which I personally have been looking for by trial and error for a very long time.

Both the husband and the children like this option. However, for clarity, I'll show you how I make this salad.

My tomatoes, cut out the stalks (I know that many do not, but in our family it is somehow customary to cut them out) and cut into medium-sized slices. If you grind it, you get porridge, if you cut it too coarsely, it is not very convenient to eat, since only one large slice of tomato and, at best, a few other vegetables can be placed in a spoon.

It seems to me that the optimal cutting is exactly the same as in the photo.

I cut the cucumbers into thin half rings. If the cucumbers are already old, then it is better to peel off the thick peel.

If the cucumbers are young, then they can be cut with the peel.

I peel the onion and cut it into thin quarter rings. When slicing, I try not to rush, because the accuracy depends on how tasty and aesthetic the salad will be.

I put the chopped vegetables in a salad bowl.

In a small portioned bowl I mix sunflower oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. I know that most housewives simply add all these ingredients separately to the salad, and then mix them.

However, from the point of view of culinary science, this is wrong: the taste of the dressing will not be complete, since its components do not mix completely. I first mix all the ingredients for the dressing, and then I dress the salad for her.

It is possible that this will not give a significant taste effect, but I just got used to it.

Immediately before serving, I dress the salad with the freshly prepared dressing. Do not fill in advance, otherwise the salad will flow and become not so tasty.

Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.

That's the whole simple recipe for tomato and cucumber salad. How do you prepare this salad? What are you filling, what are you adding?

If it weren't for the nut salad dressing I propose, this cucumber and tomato vegetable salad would be no different from the usual and simple ones that we whip up. But if you do not spare the herbs, garlic and crush a handful of walnuts, the salad will immediately change. The nut sauce will add new aroma and flavor notes to the salad, making it more satisfying and tasty.
In addition to salads, walnut dressing is used as a seasoning for meat and poultry, added to vegetable stews, pasta and legumes. It cooks very quickly, especially if you have peeled walnuts on hand.

Ingredients:

- large tomatoes - 2 pcs;
- cucumbers - 2 pcs;
- purple onion - 1 small onion;
- parsley - a small bunch;
- salt - to taste;
- ground black pepper or paprika - a pinch;
- apple cider vinegar - 1 tsp.

Ingredients for the peanut sauce:

- a handful of walnut kernels;
- garlic - 4-5 cloves;
- black peppercorns - 10-12 pcs;
- cilantro - a few branches;
- ground Imeretian saffron - a third of a teaspoon;
- wine or apple cider vinegar - 3 tsp;
- ground coriander - 0.5 tsp;
- hot boiled water - a quarter of a glass.

Step by step recipe with photo:

1. First, prepare the sauce for the tomato and cucumber salad so that the ingredients in its composition have time to "make friends". Lightly dry the walnuts in a dry frying pan and chop them into small pieces with a knife. Cut the garlic into slices.




2. Transfer the garlic, nuts and black peppercorns to a blender or mortar and grind into a gruel (there should be a uniform consistency).




3. Add finely chopped cilantro, Imeretian saffron and coriander. If saffron is not available, add a dash of turmeric for color.




4. Pour vinegar into hot water (almost boiling water). You can use white or red wine vinegar, or add apple cider vinegar.

5. Fill the nut mixture with water and vinegar. Pour in 1 tbsp. spoon, stir and then pour in the next portion of water. This makes it easier to adjust the thickness of the sauce. The finished sauce should be thick, but pour out of the spoon.




6. While the sauce is infusing, prepare vegetables for a salad of cucumbers and tomatoes. Cut the cucumbers into thin strips (like a carrot for soup).




7. Cut a small onion into rings (or half rings). If you like spicy vegetable salads, add regular onions instead of purple.






8. Cut the tomatoes into wedges.




9. Chop fresh parsley finely. In addition to parsley, you can add any greens to a vegetable salad with tomatoes and cucumbers - dill, cilantro, green onions.




10. Put tomato slices on a plate, sprinkle with cucumber straws on top.




11. Add onions, herbs. Sprinkle the tomato and cucumber salad with vinegar, salt and season with ground pepper. The dressing can be added directly to a salad or served separately in a gravy boat. That's all, tomato and cucumber salad with peanut sauce is ready!
