Cucumber Tomato Salad is one of my favorite side salads! It’s full of fresh flavors and tossed in a tasty homemade salad dressing, you can’t go wrong!
Makes a great side dish and goes really well with Grilled Steak, Air Fryer Salmon, or Chicken Satay Skewers.

How to Make Cucumber Tomato Salad
I like to start by chopping the tomatoes, red onions and cucumbers first. If you do not have red onions you can substitute any other onion, and likewise if you do not have English cucumbers you can use regular cucumbers but you will want to peel them as the skin can be tough.
Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions to a large bowl and then add the herbs. If you are not using fresh herbs you will not need quite as much.
Then simply add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk together until fully combined.
All that’s left to do now is to add the salad dressing to your cucumber tomato salad and toss it carefully so that it is coated in the dressing, and then serve!
