Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad is a classic, light and refreshing Summertime favorite. This easy salad is made with sliced cucumbers & juicy grape tomatoes and tossed in Panera’s Creamy Buttermilk Ranch Dressing + Dip. It’s always a crowd pleaser and very seldom are there any leftovers!
We really enjoy fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, especially in the Summertime. We eat this meal at least once a week because we can have it prepped, mixed and on the table in less than 10 minutes.
All you need to do is chop and slice the vegetables and fresh herbs, mix in the mozzarella cheese and toss in Panera’s Creamy Buttermilk Ranch Dressing + Dip. It’s that easy!
Pro tip: Both cucumbers and tomatoes contain a lot of water so I find it works best to mix the dressing in right before you are ready to serve this dish.
This Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad recipe packs a lot of delicious flavor and textures. The crunch from the fresh cucumbers and the soft, moist mozzarella pearls hold well together. Additionally, the simplicity of the vegetables allow the flavor of the creamy dressing to really shine.
The key to making the best Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad is Panera’s Creamy Buttermilk Ranch Dressing + Dip! I enjoy using it in this recipe (and many others) because it has no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors or colors from artificial sources. It’s 100% clean!
