Cucumber Tomato Red Onion Salad Haiku: "Lovely as written! Cool, colorful, and easy. Lots can be added." Great recipe for a summertime BBQ side dish. Definitely letting it chill in the fridge for several hrs. b4 serving makes it all the better. I've made this many times now, occasionally adding a little EVOO, balsamic vinegar, roasted corn, cumin, black beans -- really, as a base, it's fantastic, but it's equally fun and delicious to make by jazzing it up w/ other goodies.

Very simple. I didn't have cilantro so left that out.

I suppose it was ok, if all you want is some cut up cucumbers, tomatoes with some lime juice on your plate. I ended up adding mayo, lemon pepper an parmesan cheese to it to make it more like an actual salad, rathan than just a pile of cut up veggies. I would give it more stars with my additions, but as the recipe is written, only 2 stars. Its really not much of a recipe.

I've made this salad and love it, especially on a hot day as a nice side dish. I sometimes add feta cheese to it also

It's about 100 degrees here today, and this is exactly what I want to eat on a day like today. So cool and refreshing! I did add the feta as I served it in the bowl as our son doesn't care for it. Added a few tblspns. of EVOO and just a splash of vinegar but did not have lime. Might add a bit more vinegar. It gets better as it sits in the fridge!

DELICIOUS! I added black beans as others suggested and also some goat cheese and it was SUPERB. I would definitely put in the beans if you have them- it made the salad!

Word to the wise: if you don't like red onions, DON'T use them! I thought I might like this recipe since I love cucumbers and tomatoes but the onions were overpowering. I didn't have cilantro and it might have made a difference. Add extra lime juice!
