Marinated Salad
Marinated Salad- A delicious easy to make side dish that goes perfectly with everything! A great summertime dish but so good you will want it all year long.
Marinated Salad is one of our favorite side dishes. It’s a great dish in the summer months when cucumbers, tomatoes and onions are bursting from our garden.

We love this dish all year long. I buy English cucumbers and the best tomatoes I can find in the off season months and make this dish. Letting it sit in the fridge for as many hours are you like but at least for 3 hours works best.
This Marinated Salad makes a great base for a lunch of tuna salad, feta cheese and pita bread. In the summer this is a favorite with grilled cheeseburgers and fresh corn. I normally always double this recipe since we always eat so much of it and I want enough for another nights meal. And I think it tastes just as yummy the next day with some juicy grilled chicken kabobs and rice pilaf and maybe a nice glass of sangria.
Yummy!! Make this Marinated Salad today!
