There were several cucumbers and tomatoes waiting on my counter this morning and I wanted to put them into a salad. I scanned a couple cookbooks looking for something different in a dressing. This was what I found.
The salad was spicy and tangy and different from any I'd tried in the past. My husband really liked this salad. My son even requested more of it later as a snack, so I'm thinking that we'll be making this again.
Cucumber Salad with Spicy Tomato Vinaigrette
vinaigrette recipe adapted from Cooking Light Complete Cookbook
3 medium size cucumbers, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
6 medium size Roma tomatoes
1/3 red onion, very thinly sliced
3 tablespoons tomato juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, I used Sriracha
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine cucumbers, tomatoes and onion in a large bowl. Whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the vegetables and toss well to combine. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
