Perfect as a side dish for an indulgent steak or chicken main, this cucumber and tomato salad will be a lovely, creamy gap filler to guarantee complete satisfaction at the end of a hearty meal.
The great thing about this cucumber and tomato salad is that it adds freshness and crunchiness to a meal that might be fairly rich and indulgent, allowing for a break from the succulence, while at the same time complementing its flavours and textures, making you want to go back for more!
The sauce for the salad is made from a tangy mayonnaise, sour cream, and vinegar, and seasoned with dill and garlic powder. Needless to say, the sauce is a burst of flavours that exude from its rich and creamy base. This salad is also a great excuse to get those veggies in. Cucumbers and tomatoes are full of nutrients, and are a great source of vitamin C and K. They also contain antioxidants, and since cucumbers are made up of mostly water, they aid in hydration too!
