Steps:

- Cut up tomatoes and cucumber into the same size as the gnocchi.
- Boil gnocchi. Gnocchi cooks faster than dried pasta. So keep an eye on it.

| Tomato & Cucumber Salad |
I make this salad quite often, and with variations. Sometimes I use chickpeas instead of gnocchi. Sometimes I put cheese. Today I was hungry and craving something substantial, after enduring a virtual training class from midnight to 6am due to time zone difference. So gnocchi! 😋
The dressing is very versatile too. It's basically 3:1 oil to acid ratio. Everything else is optional. It goes great with any salad. I think it's the easiest salad dressing recipe floating around on the interweb.
