Featured Recipe: Tomato and Cucumber Salad
Okay call us old-fashioned, but some flavor combos never need to change. Take this Southern summertime salad packed with red-ripe tomatoes and crisp cooling cukes. It's addictive.
Perhaps that explains why almost any night -- at any Southern household that grows a tomato vine or two -- you can come to the table to find what we'll simply call Tomato and Cucumber Salad.
So, true confessions? Beverly's mom always peels her cucumbers but we're just too busy (lazy?)! So, truth be told, actually we like the bright green skin. Surely it's good for you, too?
