Notes

This recipe can be kept simple by using just one type of cucumber and tomato.
I used garden cucumbers that I peeled and one English cucumber that I left the thin tender peel on. The cucumbers were medium to large in size.
To add even more visual interest I score the sides of the peeled garden cukes with a fork.
I also used small colorful salad tomatoes and a couple of large slicing tomatoes chopped.
