Marinated Cucumber, Tomato & Onion Salad
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 2 Large cucumbers, sliced into rounds 🥒
- 2 Large tomatoes, cut into wedges 🍅
- 1 Small onion, thinly sliced 🧅
For the Tangy Vinaigrette:
- ½ cup White vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) 🍯
- ¼ cup Olive oil 🫒
- 2 tbsp Water 💧
- 1-2 tbsp Sugar (to balance the tang) 🍬
- 1 tsp Dried oregano or fresh parsley 🌿
- Salt & Black pepper to taste 🧂🖤
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Veggies: Slice your cucumbers, wedge your tomatoes, and thinly slice the onion. Toss them all into a large glass bowl. 🥒🍅🧅🥣
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, water, sugar, and herbs until the sugar is dissolved. 🌪️✨
- The Marinate: Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss gently to ensure every slice is coated in that zesty goodness! 🌊🥢🤤
- The Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours. This allows the vegetables to soak up the marinade and become perfectly tender-crisp. ⏲️❄️🎯
- Serve: Give it one last toss before serving. It looks beautiful in a clear bowl as seen in the photo! 🍽️🥗👑
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Crunch” Secret: Use English or Persian cucumbers if you prefer a thinner skin and fewer seeds! 🥒🛡️💎
- Make it Ahead: This salad is actually better the next day! It’s the perfect make-ahead dish for busy weeknights or potlucks. 🍱⏳🎯
