Summer Tomato, Cucumber, and Basil Salad

Summer Tomato, Cucumber, and Basil Salad

This salad is so simple and to me is the taste of summer. I started making this salad when I had tomatoes, cucumbers and basil growing in my garden. This year, my tomatoes are just starting to ripen, so I will be making it soon. It's a perfect, easy peasy salad to throw together with something on the BBQ. Healthy, simple and delicious, just my kind of recipe. Enjoy xx
