Marinated Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad
Marinated Cucumber tomato and onion salad is a fresh summer side dish, it only takes 5 minutes to throw together, super simple and delicious. No summer feasting and BBQ party is the same without this salad.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick (sliced about 4 cups)
- 1 medium white onion, sliced and separated into thicker rings
- 3 medium tomatoes, largely chopped
- ½ cup vinegar of your choice*
- ¼ cup granulated sugar*
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Coarse Pepper or to taste
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, I used olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve with the liquid or without, either way, it’ll taste delicious as all the veggies are marinated thoroughly.
NOTES
- Sugar - For a low-carb version prepare the marinade with a sugar replacement, such as erythritol or stevia. For sweeter brine add more tablespoons of sugar or sugar replacement.
- Vinegar - I used distilled white vinegar but feel free to use milder versions such as rice vinegar or wine vinegar.
