1 serving (medium) of Tomato cucumber (120 g) has 23 calories. That works out to 19 calories per 100 g. It contains 4 g of carbs, 1 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.
Tomato and cucumber is a simple pairing of ripe tomato and fresh cucumber, served sliced or chopped. It is common in many cuisines, from a side salad at home to a fresh plate alongside a larger meal. The tomato is juicy and gently sweet-tart, while cucumber adds a cool, crisp bite.
Serve it with breakfast, tuck it into a sandwich, or pair it with grilled foods, grains or cheese. It is mostly water and naturally low in calories, with vitamin C and potassium. For a fuller salad, add herbs and a little olive oil; for a lighter plate, keep the dressing simple and let the vegetables’ freshness stand out.

Yes, tomato and cucumber can be eaten together; there is no established harmful interaction between them. They are commonly paired in fresh salads, sandwiches, and side dishes.
For a simple tomato and cucumber salad, wash and slice both vegetables, then toss them with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs. Add salt just before serving to limit excess liquid.
No, whole tomato and cucumber are best stored separately. Keep tomatoes at room temperature to preserve their flavor, while refrigerating cucumbers helps them stay crisp; avoid chilling tomatoes unless they are very ripe.
No, onion is optional in tomato and cucumber salad. Add thinly sliced red onion for a sharper flavor, or leave it out for a milder side dish; rinsing sliced onion briefly can soften its bite.
Chopped tomato and cucumber are best eaten within a day when kept covered in the refrigerator. Store them without salt or dressing, since seasoning draws out liquid and quickly makes the salad watery.
No, you usually do not need to peel the cucumber for tomato and cucumber salad. Wash it well and slice it with the skin on; peel it only if the skin is especially tough or bitter.
No, freezing tomato and cucumber is not suitable if you want to serve them raw. Both become soft and watery after thawing, so use surplus tomatoes in cooked sauce and cucumbers for pickling instead.
No, removing the seeds from tomato and cucumber is unnecessary for an everyday salad. If you want a less watery topping for toast or a sandwich, scoop out the tomato’s juicy seed pulp before slicing.
A simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing works especially well with tomato and cucumber. Fresh herbs such as parsley or dill add flavor; dress the vegetables shortly before serving so they stay crisp.
Yes, tomato and cucumber make a fresh sandwich filling. Pat the slices dry and place them between other ingredients or against the bread’s filling, rather than directly on the bread, to reduce sogginess.
