Summer Cucumber Tomato Salad
There are a number of summer cucumber salad recipes and this is my new favorite.
Made from fresh home grown tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions, this refreshing summer salad is versatile as a side dish or all on its own.
Now you’re probably going to ask for measurements. Start with one cucumber cut into smaller pieces. Add tomato to taste. Sprinkle with diced red onions. Add a splash of white vinegar. All of the ingredients can be changed to taste.
The key is to let his marinate overnight in the refrigerator so the ingredients can mix.
If you don’t have time to marinate not a problem, this summer cucumber tomato salad is good as is.
I have not tried this with onions other than red and would suggest a Vidalia or otherwise sweet onion to balance the vinegar.
This is a great way to enjoy home grown produce or, better yet, produce a neighbor shares. Enjoy!
