    Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad

    Creamy cucumber tomato salad is a fresh and healthy vegetarian side dish that screams summer. Tossed in a creamy avocado dressing and fresh herbs, it brings the flavors from the garden right to your table. It’s super easy to make ahead of time, travels well, and goes great with grilled chicken or fish.

    Fresh flavors. Cucumber is such a fresh flavor anyway. And even more so when it’s tossed with juicy cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a summery avocado dressing. 

    Easy vegetarian side dish. This creamy cucumber tomato salad comes together in ten minutes, so you can chop and stir while dinner is on the grill. 

    Use what you have. I like English cucumbers because they’re seedless. If you have garden cucumbers, just scrape the seeds out. I used cherry tomatoes, but nothing beats a juicy beefsteak tomato straight from the garden. Dice it up and throw it in.

    Turn it into a summery pasta salad! You could easily double up the dressing and toss this with pasta for a cool and creamy tomato cucumber pasta salad.

    How to Make Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad

    In your food processor or blender, add ½ of an avocado, 2 tablespoons mayo, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon dill, ½ tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy.

    Recipe Essentials

    Cuisinart Mini Food Processor

    Making dressing with avocados and fresh herbs requires more than a whisk and less than a full-sized food processor or blender. That's where this mini food processor comes in super handy. It blends everything together in just a few seconds. It's easy to clean and compact, so it tucks away nicely in my cupboard.

    Knife Sharpener

    When you're cutting cherry tomatoes in half, you need a sharp blade so you can slice, not squish. We don't have fancy knives at all, but we keep the ones we have quite sharp with this knife sharpener. And by we I mean my husband. He's the official knife sharpener of the household and he approves this message.
