Cucumber Tomato Summer Salad

Cucumber Tomato Summer Salad is tangy, sweet and summertime fresh. Made with fresh garden vegetables, it’s perfect for any occasion.

This is my take on the classic cucumber and onion salad. I had to change it up because my husband, Vince and one of my boys, Greg, are not cucumber lovers so I was able to hide them in this recipe. I also had an abundance of heirloom tomatoes that I needed to use. This salad turned out so good, I’m not sure I’ll ever make just cucumber and onions again. I added thinly sliced fennel and celery that gave it a really bright fresh pop of flavor.

If you’ve been around my blog or social media much, you’ll notice I use a lot of Ball canning jars for food preparation and storing. I even fill jars with nuts, coconut and shredded cheese and store them in my refrigerator.
