Pickling Cucumbers With Cherry Tomatoes And Fresh Herbs

Cucumber salad with fresh tomatoes and herbs is the perfect side dish or salad during the summer months.  This recipe can be made up ahead of time or made at the last minute.  Using the pickling cucumbers makes this salad crisper then a normal cucumber salad because you can leave on that nice green skin.  If you can't find these types of cucumbers at your local store you can substitute regular cucumbers.  Regular cucumbers have a wax on them so make sure you peel the regular cucumbers.
