Tomato and Cucumber Salad
In the summertime, this salad was served five nights out of six when we were growing up in farming communities in North Carolina. Somehow we never tired of the combination and we crave it still.

Sounds yummy! It’s always great to have alternatives when tomatoes come into season. I actually just paid $4 for one tomato at a garden festival today—it’s organic, locally grown and heirloom, but it’s the most expensive tomato I’ve ever bought. Better be good!

Wow! that’s an expensive tomato. I’m a tomato and cucumber freak right now. I can’t get enough of them. I’m going to try this recipe without the sugar. If it doesn’t taste right without the sugar I’ll use Italian dressing.

I love my Desperation Dinners! and Cheap Fast. Good! They are falling apart! That has to be the sign of a well-loved cookbook. Too bad I have to buy new ones. But the food is just too good not to have the books.

I have made this salad for years but do not add sugar. I sometimes add olives or cilantro or basil.
