Chop ripe tomatoes, cucumber and spring onions, then toss them together just before serving. A simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice and salt brings out their fresh flavour. Add the dressing at the end so the vegetables stay crisp rather than sitting in their juices.
Olive oil, lemon juice and a little salt make a classic dressing for tomato cucumber spring onion salad. Red-wine vinegar also works if you prefer a sharper taste. Dress the salad shortly before serving, since both tomatoes and cucumbers release liquid once salted.
To keep tomato cucumber spring onion salad from turning watery, salt and dress it just before eating. You can remove the juicy seed centres from especially ripe tomatoes, and drain chopped cucumber briefly if it seems wet. Serve promptly after tossing.
You can wash and dry the vegetables ahead, but keep them whole and refrigerated until closer to serving. Chop the tomatoes, cucumber and spring onions, then add the dressing at the last moment; pre-cut vegetables soften and release liquid as they sit.
Tomato cucumber spring onion salad is best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be kept covered in the refrigerator and eaten soon. The tomatoes will soften and shed liquid, so drain the excess before serving again. Discard it if it has been left out for an extended period.
Tomato cucumber spring onion salad pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, kebabs or halloumi. It also makes a fresh side for rice, flatbreads and bean dishes. Add bread or a protein-rich main if you want the salad to anchor a more substantial meal.
Yes, finely sliced red onion can replace spring onion in tomato cucumber salad, but its flavour is sharper. Soak the slices briefly in cold water and drain them to mellow the bite. The salad will lose the mild, fresh green flavour of spring onion.
No, peeling the cucumber is not necessary if its skin is tender and has been washed well. Peel it if the skin is thick or you prefer a softer texture. Cutting the cucumber into evenly sized pieces helps it mix neatly with the tomato and spring onion.
Ripe, firm tomatoes that hold their shape are best for tomato cucumber spring onion salad. Very soft tomatoes can make the bowl watery and difficult to serve. Use juicy varieties when flavour matters most, and remove their seeds if you want a drier salad.
Yes, crumbled feta makes tomato cucumber spring onion salad creamier and more savoury. Add it just before serving so it keeps its shape, and taste the salad before adding salt because feta is already salty. Olives are another common addition.

Tomato cucumber spring onion salad brings together juicy tomato, crisp cucumber and the mild bite of thinly sliced spring onion. It is a straightforward combination found in many cuisines rather than a dish tied to one specific origin; the vegetables are usually served raw, freshly cut and simply dressed.
It makes a refreshing side for grilled foods, fish or a sandwich, and works well as part of a summer lunch or supper. The salad is mostly water and light in calories, with some fibre and vitamins C and K. For a more filling plate, serve it with beans or bread; a little olive oil and lemon adds flavour without weighing it down.
