Cucumber Tomato Dill Salad

Freshen your summer dining with this delicious Cucumber Tomato Dill Salad that uses fresh vine tomatoes, crispy cucumbers with a tangy dill vinaigrette.

When you need a salad that offers layers of flavors look no further than this quick and easy recipe for Cucumber Tomato Dill Salad. It’s made with cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion and dill dressed with a tangy vinaigrette.

The star ingredient for this recipe is dill and one of the herbs that I remember most when growing up.

Dill looks similar to Queen Anne’s Lace but only greener with beautiful long fronds and tendrils.

This part of the herb can be finely chop and sprinkled in salads, like this one. Or you can use it as part of a quick and easy Dill Dip or even as a garnish.

My mom would slip the flower tops into jars when she canned dill pickles. She also used chopped dill in soups and stews.
