There’s something truly special about simple salads made with fresh ingredients. This marinated cucumber, onion, and tomato salad is light, crisp, and bursting with flavor — the perfect side dish for a sunny lunch or family dinner. Here’s how to make it step by step:


Step 1: Gather Fresh Ingredients

To start, you’ll need:

  • 2–3 crisp cucumbers 🥒

  • 2 ripe tomatoes 🍅

  • 1 medium red or white onion

  • Olive oil

  • Vinegar (apple cider or white vinegar)

  • Salt, black pepper, and a pinch of sugar

  • Optional: fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra aroma

Choosing fresh, firm vegetables makes all the difference — it’s what gives this salad its satisfying crunch.


Step 2: Slice the Vegetables

Wash everything well.

  • Slice the cucumbers thinly (you can peel them or leave the skin on for extra color).

  • Cut the tomatoes into wedges or bite-size pieces.

  • Slice the onion into thin rings or half-moons.

The goal is to keep the textures light and even so every bite blends perfectly.
