New Recipe: Tomato & Cucumber Salad

August 29, 2012 by RecipeLion

As the summer is coming to an end, so are our gardens. There’s no reason to waste all of those good greens when you can make some refreshing salad recipes out of them. It’s great too because it is just in time for Labor Day and may be one of the last opportunities to enjoy a family cookout with fresh veggie salads. Plus, there’s something rewarding about creating delicious recipes out of fresh ingredients that came right out of your very own garden.

This brand new recipe comes from our friends the Two Old Crabs and is the perfect way to use up your fresh gardens goods.  Packed with vitamins in every bite. Tomato & Cucumber Salad is a raw nutritious salad that will complement any cookout fare. Add in some of your favorite vegetables to make it the way you like. Enjoy and happy and healthy eating.
