1 serving (medium) of Cucumber tomato (120 g) has 26 calories. That works out to 22 calories per 100 g. It contains 5 g of carbs, 1.3 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 1.3 g of fiber. Its 15.6 mg of Vitamin C covers 17% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 20 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Cucumber tomato brings together sliced cucumber and ripe tomato for a simple, fresh salad. It has no single defining origin: versions of this everyday pairing are served in many cuisines, from Mediterranean tables to casual meals elsewhere. The cucumber stays crisp and cool, while the tomato adds juicy, gently sweet-tart flavour. It can be served on its own or alongside bread, eggs, grilled food, or a larger salad spread.
Mostly water and naturally low in calories, it makes a light, refreshing addition to a meal and provides vitamin C and potassium. A little olive oil, lemon juice, or vinegar is often enough to dress it without masking the vegetables. For a more filling plate, pair it with beans, cheese, or another protein-rich food.

To make cucumber and tomato salad, wash and chop both vegetables, then add olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs such as parsley if you like. Add salt just before serving to help keep the salad crisp rather than watery.
Yes, you can store cucumbers and tomatoes together, but ripe tomatoes can soften cucumbers sooner. For better keeping quality, store them separately and refrigerate cut pieces in covered containers.
Add salt and dressing shortly before serving cucumber and tomato salad, since salt draws out moisture and chopped tomatoes release juice as they sit. Removing the cucumber’s seedy center can also reduce excess liquid.
Cucumbers keep well in the refrigerator, while whole tomatoes are often best kept at room temperature until ripe and ready to eat. Refrigerate cut tomatoes and any prepared cucumber and tomato salad promptly.
No, you do not have to peel cucumbers for cucumber and tomato salad. Rinse them well and slice with the skin on; peel them if the skin is tough, bitter, or damaged.
You can chop the vegetables ahead, but cucumber and tomato salad is best assembled close to serving. Keep the chopped ingredients covered in the refrigerator and add salt, lemon juice, and oil at the last minute.
A simple dressing of olive oil and lemon juice works well with cucumber and tomato salad. Red-wine vinegar is another option; add fresh herbs, black pepper, or a little garlic for extra flavor.
Yes, most people can include cucumber and tomato salad every day as part of varied meals. It is a convenient way to eat fresh vegetables; vary the other vegetables and toppings you eat across the week.
No, cucumber and tomato salad does not freeze well. Both vegetables release water and turn soft after thawing, so prepare the salad fresh rather than freezing leftovers.
No, removing tomato seeds is not necessary for cucumber and tomato salad. If you want a less watery salad, scoop out the juicy seed chambers before chopping, especially when preparing it ahead.
