The Perfect Summer Salad

Writer's Note: It's hot.  Almost too hot to eat.  But if you must eat, eat this.  It is the perfect summer salad -- something about the dill, lemon and salt create a blissful dressing that you will find yourself going back to over and over again.  Simple, clean, and ideal for a hot summer night.
 
 
Ingredients:

2 vine ripe tomatoes, diced
1 large cucumber, peeled, quartered and sliced thin
3 large sprigs dill, minced
juice from half a lemon
2-3 tbsp. olive oil
2/3 tsp. salt

Directions:

Mis the ingredient and allow the tomato and cucumber to marinate in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving.  The salt is an important component of the dressing -- do not leave it out!
