Tomato Cucumber and Onion Salad Recipe

This tomato cucumber and onion salad recipe is the perfect summer salad to bring to a BBQ.

I’m sharing SPLENDA® Sweetener Products in my life as part of a sponsored series for Socialstars™ #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps

This tomato cucumber and onion salad recipe features fresh, crisp veggies with a slightly tart dressing to bring out their flavors. This is the perfect party food and goes well with anything that comes off of a grill… it’s basically summer in a bowl.

Our summers are built on simple meals like this that are quick, fresh, flavorful and that are no-cook, so there’s no need to heat up the house when it’s already hot out! We recently had these with tomato mayo sandwiches (a summer staple that I’ll be talking about soon!) and it was such a great no-cook meal!

This tomato cucumber and onion salad recipe is sweetened with SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend, which lets us balance out the tartness of the dressing with less added sugar.

I chose to use mozzarella cheese, but feta would also work as well – it would give it a more Mediterranean edge. And of course, if you want to make the recipe fully plant based, you can just omit the cheese altogether.
