Tomatoes and cucumbers are two vegetables that really flourish this time of year in most sunny backyard gardens. In fact, if you’re a gardener, lately you’ve probably been sending friends home with paper bags full of nearly ripe tomatoes and oddly shaped cucumbers because you’ve run out of ideas for using them yourself.
Besides, most backyard gardeners love to share. A certain pride comes with a bountiful backyard harvest.
But before you give away TOO many of those luscious tomatoes and cool cukes, take a look at some of these recipes for superb summer salads made with tomatoes, cucumbers, and just a few other everyday ingredients. You just might decide you want to keep more of your backyard harvest for yourself.
Try this easy Cucumber and Tomato Salad or, if you want something that at least SOUNDS a little fancier, you'll want to test this recipe for Tomates et Concombre au Basilik, which is just the fancy French way of saying "Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Basil Salad."
Need even MORE ideas for turning those cucumbers and tomatoes into a tasty summer feast? Then check out this page. It's full of delicious Cucumber Salad recipes.
I'll bet at least one of these dishes will become a summertime favorite and you'll want to share it with your friends (if you're still willing to part with some of those cucumbers and tomatoes from you garden, that is).
