This tomato cucumber and onion salad recipe is the perfect summer salad to bring to a BBQ that you can make in under 10 minutes.
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.
🥗 Ingredients
You can officially say goodbye to boring salads once you taste this incredible tomato, cucumber, and onion salad. Let’s discuss the ingredients really quick.
Veggies: You can’t have a salad without having some kind of vegetables… right? cucumbers, red onions, and tomatoes go together amazingly.
Mozzarella: For best results, always use fresh mozzarella. It goes much better in this salad when you use fresh vs. an overly processed version.
Lemon Juice: The lemon juice gives you just enough tang to make this salad extra special. When you combine it with the apple cider vinegar, sweetener, and seasonings you just can’t go wrong.
