Do you have cucumbers and tomatoes taking over your kitchen?
We sure do!
Our garden is doing really well this year and although I am happy about that, I needed to find a few new recipes so we could use the veggies from our garden in new and different ways.
Because it’s summer, I have no urge to stand in the kitchen and cook. I really want to be outside gardening, enjoying a little beach time, or swimming.
After all, we only get a few months of beach weather here!
So after a little thought, (and some online searching) a new recipe idea began to form.
I noticed other cucumber tomato salad recipes but wanted something that was a little more hearty.
Something that could be a meal on its own was the goal and I think it was achieved!
Cucumber Tomato Salad (With Avocado, Bacon, & Ranch!)
If you’re ready to use some of your garden cucumbers or tomatoes this recipe is sure to be easy, healthy, and delicious!
And with the avocado and bacon, it would be a great side dish or a perfect lunch.
What You Need:
- 2 cucumbers
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 large avocado or 2 small
- 1 medium onion
- 2-3 strips of bacon (or more if desired)

What To Do:
