Tasty Tuesday: Cucumber-Tomato Salad

This is a great and quick dish that is healthy, low in fat, and simply refreshing for those upcoming summer days. I could probably survive of salads, and this is by far one of my favorite simply salad recipes: Cucumber + Tomato Salad

INGREDIENTS
1 Roma tomato
1 Persian Cucumber (baby gourmet)
1/2 tbsp EVOO
1/2 tbsp coconut oil
Dash of sea-salt
Dash pepper

PREP
Slice the tomato & cucumber, place in a small bowl and drizzle the EVOO and coconut oils over the veggies. Sprinkle with sea-salt and pepper. Toss and Serve.

EXTRAS: For those cheese lovers, sprinkle a bit of crumbled feta cheese on top of the salad. It turns the dish into a bowl of heaven. Cheese makes everything better.

NUTRITION (per serving)
147 calories, 1 g protein, 4 g carbohydrates, 14 g fat (7 g saturated fat from the coconut oil), 1 g fiber, 120 mg sodium.
