Pin this tuna salad with cucumbers to try it later!
Tuna salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley and mint Is the kind of things I want for dinner at this time of the year! And it is true that when the end of the summer is approaching, I find it difficult to let go of summer food. And I don’t apologize for it, because these kinds of salads are perfect to make in late summer, when garden tomatoes are on their prime and the herb garden is still full with leafy goodness.
This salad is inspired by my favorite tomato salad in the middle, something that I make every year when I have good tomatoes, fresh cucumbers and parsley and mint from the garden. This salad with tuna has some of the same flavors, but it contains tomatoes and cucumbers that are cut into larger chunks, for more a main lank salad.
What this salad really makes a winner for me is the generous amount of chopped fresh parsley and mint. I have not been to the middle, but I ate in enough restaurants in the middle to know about their salads with fresh herbs, where the herbs are almost eaten as a form of vegetables. And I really love that combination in this salad! I hope you will try the salad if you are a fan of these ingredients and also like to hold on to the summer!
