3–4 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
3 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
½ medium red or white onion, thinly sliced
⅓ cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Optional: pinch of dried oregano or dill
Instructions
Prep the Vegetables
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the onion and separate the rings.
Mix the Dressing
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and herbs if using. Taste and adjust—this dressing should be tangy with just a hint of sweetness.
Combine Everything
Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Let It Marinate
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. An hour or two is even better—the flavors deepen and the vegetables soak up that tangy goodness.
