Cucumber Tomato Salad

This cucumber tomato salad is exactly the sort of thing I like to eat in the summertime. Make sure to use the best tomatoes you can find, and use a mix of varieties if you can. This salad is best when it's filled with tomatoes of different colors, shapes, and sizes.

Ingredient

  • 2 Persian cucumbers
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 6 to 8 ounces halloumi cheese
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Scant ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Homemade Croutons (grilled option), from 2 large slices of bread
  • Greek Salad Dressing
  • ⅓ cup fresh basil
  • Flaky sea salt, optional
Direction
  1. Thinly slice the cucumbers, halve the tomatoes, and set aside.
  2. Slice the halloumi into ½-inch thick planks. Rub both sides with olive oil and grill 2 to 3 minutes per side, until well-charred. Remove from the grill and slice the planks into cubes.
  3. Assemble the salad with the sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, halloumi, red onions, and croutons. Drizzle with the dressing and top with fresh basil. Season to taste with flaky sea salt, if desired.
