I love this salad because it’s quick and easy, but there is also something simple and slightly elegant about it’s flavors. It’s a traditional Russian Salad (Russkij Salat) that just denotes summer for me. I ate it in almost every household I visited in Russia and Uzbekistan. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and dill are all easily grown in pots, so just about anyone can have a small garden to grow these ingredients!
“Russkiy Salat”
- 1 large cucumber
- 2 large tomatoes
- 1 T dill weed (fresh is best, but dried works too!)
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp salt (try smoked salt for great non-traditional flavor!)
Slice or dice tomatoes and cucumbers to your preferred size/shape.
Add seasoning and stir. That’s it!
