Tomato, Cucumber, & Basil Salad

This is such a simple salad, but it is a celebration of how tasty tomatoes and cucumbers can be. They are cut into bite-sized pieces, then tossed with basil, olive oil and apple cider vinegar and seasoned with salt and pepper, and that’s honestly all that they need. Using colourful baby tomatoes gives a beautiful pop of colour. It makes for a perfect side salad for a lovely summer lunch.
