This summer salad is a simple mix of oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. I like to serve it very cold and often add ice cubes just before serving. Very refreshing on a hot summer day!
Cucumbers are very plentiful and inexpensive during the summer months. If you have a garden, you probably have more than you know how to do. Cucumbers are also incredibly low in calories and have a very high water content. It is a great way to stay hydrated and plump during the summer.
This is a basic and simple recipe that can be easily customized.
Add a handful of chopped fresh dill or a dash of dry Italian seasoning for extra flavour.
Use red onions instead of sweet onions.
Use cherry tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes.
Instead of apple cider vinegar, use rice wine vinegar, distilled white vinegar, or red wine vinegar.
Olive oil can be used instead of vegetable oil.
Peel the cucumber, or leave the skin on.
