Georgian Tomato & Cucumber Salad with Walnuts

Method

1. 1

   Grind the walnuts with the garlic, vinegar, a pinch of salt and 3 tablespoons of cold water into a creamy dressing.

   💡 Keep blending past the crumb stage — walnuts release their oil and turn genuinely creamy.

2. 2

   Arrange the tomato wedges, cucumber slices and red onion in a wide bowl.

3. 3

   Season the vegetables lightly with salt and let them sit 5 minutes to release a little juice.

4. 4

   Spoon the walnut dressing over and toss just once or twice.

5. 5

   Finish with cilantro and basil and serve immediately, with bread for the juices.
