A refreshing and easy-to-make summer salad featuring crisp cucumbers, ripe tomatoes, and pungent red onion, all tossed in a simple vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 2–3 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, cubed tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
  4. If using, stir in the fresh chopped dill.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of dried oregano or a minced garlic clove to the dressing.
  • This salad is best served within 24 hours, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • If you prefer a less pungent onion flavor, you can soak the sliced red onion in ice water for 10-15 minutes before adding it to the salad.
  • Feel free to experiment with other herbs like fresh parsley or mint.
