Cucumber Tomato Salad is one of my favorite summer time salads! It’s packed with cucumbers, fresh farmers market tomatoes, herbs and some green onions and topped with a sumac dressing! If you haven’t had sumac before, get ready to order some right this instant because you’ll never want to live life without it. It has a tangy lemony flavor and it amps up whatever you put it on! In this case - the cucumber tomato salad! Once the salad is prepped and dressed, you serve it up with grilled Stonefire Naan, the garlic variety is my fav here!!

A little garlic oregano butter mixture get brushed over the Naan bread, grilled and then served warm. You can pile it up with everything your heart desires. I throw in about a cup of the salad on top of the warmed naan. You could also add some tzatziki in there, pieces of chicken tawook, grilled meat, anything your heart desires. The garlic brushed grilled Naan is the perfect vehicle for just about EVERYTHING!! Enjoy!

    This is the first time I've ever tried Sumac and I enjoyed it immensely, especially with this salad. I didn't have the naan as I don't eat any flour. But the salad is delicious. Perfect for a hot summer day with fresh ingredients from my farmer's market. Thank-you!
