Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Herbed Sour Cream

September has been full of lots of great cucumbers at our house. I've been getting lots of great cucumbers from my CSA share at La Nay Ferme. I'm getting a good little variety of cukes, too!

I wanted to make a quick and simple side dish for dinner one night. As I opened my fridge a larger than life English cucumber caught my eye. That was my start. Then I realized I had some other produce like fresh thyme and baby heirloom tomatoes that needed to be used. 

So washing and chopping I went. As much as we were in the mood for something fresh, I also wanted something creamy. Ah, sour cream. There you have it folks. Try my Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Herbed Sour Cream. It’s fresh, it bright, it’s aromatic and the combination of sour cream, thyme and garlic against those crunch cucumbers and sweet tomatoes make this side dish a summer special.
