Tomato Salad is Cool (now w/ bonus salad recipe!)



Two quick and cool salad ideas --they make excellent sides for a spicy meal.  The tomato basil goes great with any blackened fish, and I love the creamy cucumber with spicy Indian fare.  No cooking required—simply combine the raw ingredients for an easy accompaniment to your favorite spicy dishes.

Tomato Basil Salad
ingredients:
2 fresh TOMATOES (diced)
½ cup BASIL (chopped)
¼  cup FETA CHEESE (crumbled)
1 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
1 tsp BALSAMIC VINEGRETTE
SALT and PEPPER to taste

Cucumber Salad
ingredients:
2 SALAD CUCUMBERS (diced)
½ LEMON (juice and zest)
¼  cup GREEK YOGURT
1 tsp DILL
SALT and PEPPER to taste
