This is my favourite Cucumber and Tomato Salad of all time! Different from what others are making but is surely a game-changer! I never measure the ingredients for the dressing, I adjust it according to how much cucumber and tomato I am putting in. You may be sceptical about the whole milk thing, I was too at first until I learned that adding milk boosts the creaminess and thin out the dressing without the extra acidity.
If you have not tried mayonnaise-based dressing is making cucumber and tomato salad, this is the time that you dive into it. I love the mayo dressing as it has an amazing sweet tang and a little goes a long way. I used to add only sour cream or Greek yoghurt, but later on, figured that mayo is the best alternative. And make sure to sit the salad for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer so the flavours blend and liquid from the cucumbers and tomatoes thin the dressing and mellows it a tad.
The fresh, chunky bites of cucumber and tomatoes with a light and creamy dressing is everything!
