Crisp and sweetly delicious, this salad is a wonderful addition to any summer picnic. May serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to four hours before serving for enhanced flavor.

Cook's Notes:

You may adjust the cucumbers and tomatoes according to which you prefer most, or you can simply use all tomatoes, or all cucumbers! There is no need to mix up the dressing as it combines beautifully without any additional effort.

Cherry tomatoes can be substituted for the large tomatoes, if desired.

I really liked this but only because I cut the amount of honey in half. It was still pretty sweet. Love the idea for a summer lunch maybe with a tuna or chicken salad croissant. Read More

7.4.18... https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/254495/herb-n-honey-cucumber-tomato-salad/... As others I reduced honey by half. Slight sweetness was an aftertaste. It isn't too sweet but I'd rather have less or no honey. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Read More

7.20.16 Thoroughly enjoyed this for lunch today. I followed the instructions but really didn t measure anything. However I know that I cut back on honey since we re not into things too sweet these days. The mild seasoned rice vinegar was a good choice because it didn t overpower the other ingredients. Nice contrast between the salty feta cheese and the sweet honey accented by the flavor of fresh basil. Read More

This was absolutely delicious! I used cherry tomatoes and apple cider vinegar because that's what I had on hand. Will definitely make it again. Read More

This is a very tasty and refreshing salad. If you have fresh cucumbers from the garden try this. You won't be disappointed. I think it's at it's best when allowed to meld for a while. Read More

I really really really liked this! Hubs thought it was too sweet! I will probably cut the honey back a bit next time just to please him. We served this on top of a wedge of iceberg lettuce and it made for one tasty salad! It will be my lunch tomorrow too. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

This is my new favorite for a pot luck or family party it was super easy and looked beautiful! I did substitute spinach for the basil and cherry tomatoes about 1/2 of the honey but otherwise made as directed. Delish! Also it lasted 2 days in the fridge without compromising the integrity of the salad. Read More
