A fresh and quick salad made with ripe tomatoes, cool cucumber, and sharp onion, dressed in a light oil and vinegar dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, and onion.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat.
  4. Let the salad marinate for at least 15 minutes before serving.
