Cucumber Salad with Fresh Tomato Juice Dressing (3 Simple Vegatable Salads for my Kababayan - part 2)

Cucumber is easy to find in Philippines and available all year round.  It is very refreshing to eat.  It contains a lot of water which helps cleanse your body.  I like eating cucumber especially on summer time when the weather is warm.

The second salad I'm sharing uses cucumber as the main vegetable.  

Cucumber Salad with Fresh Tomato Juice Dressing.

This salad has fresh tomato juice for dressing.  The dressing makes the salad tastier as the tomato flavor is mixed evenly on your salad.
