Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
- Prep your veggies: Wash your tomatoes and cucumber under cold running water. Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and dry them on a paper towel.
- Cucumber delight: Peel your cucumber and dice it into small chunks, about the same size as the tomatoes.
- Onion magic: Slice your onion thinly. If raw onions are too strong, soak in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow out.
- Mix it up: Combine the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and sliced onions in a large bowl and toss gently.
- Dressing time: In a separate jar, mix the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Shake until combined. Drizzle over the salad mixture, and toss to coat.
- Garnish and serve: Chop fresh herbs and sprinkle over the salad.
- Chill and enjoy: Let your salad chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a perfect presentation, serve in a bright white bowl and consider additional garnishes to enhance.
