Watson House Wednesday, #2: Cucumber Tomato Salad

Watson House Wednesday, #2: Cucumber Tomato Salad
This salad is actually best in the summertime, when the tomatoes and cucumbers are in season, bursting forth in our gardens and farmer's markets.  It's a versatile, simple salad, which lets the fresh ingredients shine. It works just as well as a lunch salad, or scaled up to share with a family or potluck. If needed, you can serve the pepperoncinis or the parmesan on the side.
Cucumber Tomato Salad
1 medium size tomato
1/2 fresh cucumber
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
2 to 3 pepperoncinis
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Light Italian dressing to taste

Peel and chop cucumber, tomato and cilantro, place into a medium sized bowl. Slice and add the pepperoncinis.  Toss together with the Parmesan, and a drizzle of light Italian dressing.
