Notes
Not enough time to make the salad?
No problem, read my tested tip on how to get firm tomatoes and cucumbers in a salad without the soggy! Chop the cucumber and tomatoes into chunks, add them to a small colander that can fit into the fridge, cover with clingwrap and leave to sit in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight. I left these in the fridge overnight together with the cucumber. This method drains them but they also stay whole and firm for the next day!
