Though summer has technically come to an end, grilling season definitely has not. And I can’t say that I’m mad about it! Just about anything tastes better when cooked on the grill. Gathering for an al fresco get together or poolside BBQ with friends is a classic summer pastime in many parts of the world. Besides having great wine and cocktails, serving tasty side dishes is crucial to a successful summer grill out. Enter the herby cucumber and tomato salad.

Cucumber and Tomato Salad

If Greek salad and tabouleh had a summer love child, this salad would be it. My friend’s mom once told me my quinoa tabouleh salad was “dancing on her palate.” I think this herby cucumber and tomato salad would be doing the electric slide! This salad is best in summer when juicy tomatoes are in season and temperatures are hot because it is SO refreshing. Packed with a ton of fresh parsley, fresh mint, lemon juice, lime juice, and cooling cucumber, you’ll feel refreshed with each and every bite. Serve this herby cucumber and tomato salad alongside grilled meats like these spiced chicken kebabs or in a Mediterranean style bowl or pita. Don’t forget the tzatziki, too!

This salad pairs especially well with a chilled Grenache rosé or glass of Sauvignon Blanc because of the fresh green herbs and citrus. Recipe below and if you give her a whirl, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Enjoy!
