Marinated Cucumber, Onion, and Tomato Salad

 


Step 3: Make the Marinade

In a bowl, whisk together:

  • ¼ cup of vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon of salt

  • A few grinds of black pepper

  • A pinch of sugar to balance the acidity

You can adjust these amounts depending on how tangy or mild you want the flavor.


Step 4: Combine and Toss

Place all the sliced vegetables in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over them, then toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

You’ll see the colors come alive — the bright green of cucumber, deep red of tomato, and soft white of onion make a beautiful mix.


Step 5: Let It Marinate

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to a few hours). The longer it sits, the more the flavors blend together — tangy, sweet, and fresh all at once.


Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Before serving, give it a quick toss and sprinkle with fresh herbs if you like. Serve chilled as a refreshing side to grilled meats, sandwiches, or rice dishes.

Every bite is crisp, juicy, and full of summer flavor — a simple recipe that never disappoints! 🌿
