Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise; scrape the seeds out with a spoon. Using a wide vegetable peeler or sharp knife, cut lengthwise into very thin slices. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze gently to remove any excess moisture. Place in a medium bowl along with tomatoes. Combine Parmesan, lemon juice, mayonnaise, oil, garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Cover and shake until well combined and the anchovy paste has dissolved. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
