We harvested some tomatoes and cucumbers from our vegetable garden, so I made tomato and cucumber salad with lots of herbs. The tomatoes that were fully ripe on the branch are as sweet as fruits and freshly harvested cucumbers are juicy and crisp.
It’s a very simple recipe, but Japanese people like to taste the natural flavours of vegetables. A simple salad with tomatoes and cucumbers is a very popular summer dish.
You don’t have to cook with this recipe. Making this salad is not a chore even on a hot summer’s day.
Both tomatoes and cucumbers are in season in summer. All you need is a few moments of time to prepare and then enjoy the bounty of the season!
