    Want a little more crunch and flavor in your cucumber-tomato salad? Add some sweet mini peppers! This colorful Sweet Pepper Tomato Cucumber Salad is crunchy, soft, sharp, smooth, aromatic, and savory! It looks so attractive and inviting that you can't help but pile a huge helping of it onto your plate.

    The salad really goes well with golden potatoes and grilled chicken thighs. It can be made hours in advance and dressed just before serving.

    The first time I made this salad is when one Sunday we had unexpected visitors. I was already making golden potatoes and creamy cabbage and cucumber salad along with BBQ Ribs and wanted a pop of color on the table. What better accomplishes this than a salad?

    So, I literally chopped up all these vegetables together that I had on hand at that time. Drizzled it with some olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice and everyone absolutely loved it. Of course, since this salad became a new favorite salad, I made it many times before posting it. But now, you, my friends, may enjoy it as well!
