Cucumber and Tomato Salad
This salad would be the perfect antipasto, that is, if pasta were a part of the paleo diet. We regularly make this salad to take on picnics or for casual midweek dinners on the back porch. Despite having sophisticated flavors, this salad easily “dresses down” for any occasion.

I really liked this salad. All of the flavors melded well together. This is definitely a keeper.
I agree with Primal Newbie. Didn’t have the cherry tomatoes so just chopped what I had, was lazy so didn’t even deseed cucumber was still great! I have all three of their books which are great and have even more recipes than what is on line.
Great salad! A new summer favorite. Even my 9 year old daughter loves it.
Just made this 5 minutes ago. Didn’t quite have the same ingredients, but close enuff. Just delicious, added some cold baked cod(I think tuna would work too) for a little extra zing plus capers. Awesome.
Capers and Cod go GREAT together! Good thinking!!
