🥒 Ingredients
2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
3 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges or chunks
1 medium red or sweet onion, thinly sliced
½ cup vinegar (white, apple cider, or red wine vinegar all work well)
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or basil
👩🍳 How to Make It
Prep the vegetables: Slice the cucumbers and onions thinly, and chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them all in a large bowl.
Make the marinade: In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together vinegar, water, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar dissolves.
Combine & chill: Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better!).
Serve cold: Before serving, give it a quick toss and taste for seasoning. Garnish with fresh herbs if you’d like.
🌿 Tips & Variations
Add feta or mozzarella balls for a Mediterranean twist.
Use cherry tomatoes for a burst of sweetness.
Swap the vinegar to change the flavor profile—balsamic gives a richer, slightly sweet flavor.
