Too Hot to Cook

I don’t know about your weather, be ours is super hot, humid and sometimes rain. Then after the rain it gets even hotter! On days when it’s too hot to cook I love making a quick cucumber and tomato salad.

My neighbor has a small garden but it produces so many cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers. Some of the cucumbers are small but they are so delicious and don’t have that bitter taste like when they got too large. About every other day he has a bag on the handle of my front door. These are what he just brought over!

I make a very simple cucumber and tomato salad, it’s good for a meal or just a snack. I add thin onion slices at times also. After I slice the cucumbers and cut up the tomatoes, I drizzle red wine vinegar and avocado oil over the vegetables. I sprinkle with seasoning, toss it around and that’s it! If you have a favorite dressing you could use that instead of the oil and vinegar mix.

For me, this is perfect as a snack or a meal when it’s too hot to cook plus it’s healthy.
