Tomato cucumber salad with walnut sauce is made by tossing chopped tomatoes and cucumbers with a dressing of finely ground walnuts, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Add the dressing just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp and prevent excess liquid.
The walnut sauce for tomato cucumber salad with walnut sauce usually combines ground walnuts, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a little water. Blend or stir until spoonable, adding water gradually so the sauce coats the vegetables rather than pooling at the bottom.

Yes, toasted almonds or hazelnuts can replace walnuts in tomato cucumber salad with walnut sauce, though the flavor will change. For a nut-free variation, try toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds and avoid cross-contact if serving someone with a nut allergy.

Tomato cucumber salad with walnut sauce combines chopped tomatoes and cucumbers with a creamy, nut-based dressing. It has no single, firmly established place of origin; recipes vary in the seasoning and thickness of the sauce, which may be blended smooth or left a little textured.
Juicy tomatoes and crisp cucumber balance the walnut sauce’s rich, gently earthy taste. Serve it as a side with grilled vegetables, meat or bread, or make it part of a mezze-style spread; it also works as a light lunch, especially in warm weather. The vegetables keep the dish refreshing, while walnuts make it more substantial and contribute most of its fat. For a lighter dressing, use less walnut and loosen it with lemon juice or water.
