TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Our friend Robbie Shoults, CEO of his family business, Bear Creek Smokehouse in Marshall, showed us his recipe for cucumber and tomato salad with a homemade dressing that we all fell in love with when we tried it.

Rustic cucumber and tomato salad

Salad:

1 English cucumber, quartered and chopped

1/2 a red onion, cut into long, thin slivers

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved, or a large tomato, chopped

Italian seasoning

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon honey

2 cloves garlic, finely minced
