    When I saw fresh lovely looking cherry tomatoes in the grocery store the other day, I knew I had to grab some and throw them in a salad!

    Cherry tomatoes are so beautiful and they taste wonderful when made into a salad.

    I am not a fan of eating raw tomatoes so I had to make sure the dressing was extra flavorful so it really makes the salad tasty. I add fresh basil to the dressing which really amps up the flavor of this salad.

    This Cucumber Tomato Onion Salad is a winner. My hubby loved it so much that he called home while at work and spoke about how good it was.

    So even if you are not a raw-tomato-eating person, this salad is worth trying.
