Summer gardening is a ton of work but I enjoy it so much. It’s a great way to get me out of the house and the fresh vegetables are so enjoyable. If you aren’t gardening, pick up some fresh vegetables from the farmers market or add it to your grocery pick up and make this salad soon!
How to Make Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad:
- Slice cucumbers into thin slices. Remove core of tomatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces. Slice onion, thin. Place all in a serving bowl.
- For the dressing you just need mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, pepper and garlic plus some fresh herbs.
- Combine the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl with a whisk.
- Pour over vegetables and stir to mix well. The dressing will seem thick but when it combines with the juicy tomatoes, it’s just perfect.
- Salad can be served immediately or covered and chilled for one hour.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in refrigerator. Best if served within 2 – 3 days.
It really doesn’t get any easier than this cool and creamy salad. Serve it with grilled burgers, beef rigatoni or fried chicken strips. It really goes with everything and it’s a great side dish for cookouts and potlucks.

This is absolutely delicious with the blend of fresh herbs. I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Will definitely repeat this recipe a lot this summer.
Hi LuAnn,
I am so glad you enjoyed this summer salad, it’s one of my favorites. I have been using plain greek yogurt in place of sour cream in so many dishes and love it just as much as sour cream without the extra calories!
