Cucumber Tomato Salad

A cold cucumber tomato salad is a nice bright salad to offset a fatty cut of meat cooked over a fire. It is especially nice on a warm summer day.

The trick to being able to make this at your campsite is getting fresh herbs out there intact.

If you take them and flatten them out a little, roll them up in a wet paper towel, then put them into a large zip-top bag, they should hold up just fine in your cooler for a couple of days.

Also, you should peel cucumbers that you get from the grocery store. The peels can have a wax layer on them and potentially have absorbed pesticides.

If you buy your cucumbers at the grocery store instead of a farmer’s market or growing it yourself, don’t forget to bring a vegetable peeler with you.
