I am hanging on to Summer here, and that is easy to do with the temps still being around the high 80s and low 90s most days. I'm fine with it for now, and I would honesty be fine with it year round! With that being said, I am still enjoying cool and refreshing salads, along with foods prepared out on the grill. We are fortunate to be able to continue to grill out most of the year here in Georgia, too. Our Big Green Egg works for us all year long!
When it comes to sides, or salads, I enjoy changing it up. There are favorites though that get a repeat 'cause they're so good and they're so easy. This cucumber salad is definitely one of those. I'm sure there are numerous cucumber salad recipes out there, this is my take on one.
It doesn't get much easier than simply chopping up some cucumbers, slicing some onion and adding grape tomatoes, then tossing them around with some balsamic vinegar, and fresh dill!
I like the simplicity of this salad and most of all I love the taste! A tasty and delicious, low calorie salad that I often think I could eat the whole bowl of at one sitting! I enjoy having it on hand for a quick side for lunch, or dinner. And, it doesn't have to be summer to enjoy this salad, you can find the ingredients year round and make this when ever you like.

Cucumber Tomato Onion and Dill Salad
4-Servings
Ingredients:
2 Cucumbers, sliced into quarter inch slices
1/2 cup red onion, sliced thinly
1 cup grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped finely or 1 tablespoon dried(fresh is better!)
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Partially peel cucumbers, I use a peeler and peel down the cucumber four times around the outside, or remove peel completely if preferred. Slice cucumbers in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, then slice crosswise into quarter inch slices. Slice onion thinly, cut and separate into strips. Add cucumber and onion to a large bowl, add grape tomatoes, fresh dill, and white balsamic vinegar, then toss lightly to combine all ingredients. Chill in refrigerator at least an hour and until ready to serve.
Enjoy!...
