Tomato and cucumber salad with sour cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make alat from tomatoes and cucumbers with sour cream? This salad is best prepared in the vegetable season, when there are a lot of local cucumbers and tomatoes. If you cook it in winter, then choose cucumbers of a small size, with pimples. Tomatoes, of course, are more tender. And when choosing vegetables and fruits, I focus on the smell: the more fragrant they are, the tastier their taste will be. In fact, now and in winter you can find good and high-quality vegetables in stores.

2. Step 2:

   

   Unfortunately, my cucumber is long, but very fragrant. Wash cucumbers and tomatoes well. It is best to even use a special brush or a means for washing vegetables and fruits, because when stored in a store they are treated with something incomprehensible.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut off the cucumber's buttocks and cut into half circles. In fact, the type of cutting can be absolutely any: there can be mugs, and even cubes. This does not affect the taste in any way.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cut out the stalk of tomatoes and cut them also in any way convenient for you. I have these slices.

6. Step 5:

   

   Rinse the greens well and dry them. Chop it up. Lately I've been cutting greens with scissors - this is a very convenient way of slicing. It is not necessary to take dill at all, any fresh greens will do: maybe you like coriander or parsley, or maybe green onions. In this matter, focus on your preferences.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put cucumbers in a bowl, add dill, salt. Also at this stage you can add your favorite spices and seasonings to the salad: if you like spicy, add garlic and ground pepper, if you prefer a sweeter taste, sprinkle with sweet paprika, you can even smoked.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add chopped tomatoes, season with sour cream. Fat content is at your discretion. Of course, it is quite possible to replace sour cream with light yogurt for a more delicate taste or mayonnaise for a more satisfying option.

9. Step 8:

   

   Let the salad brew for 5 minutes and serve. Enjoy your meal!
