Fabulous way to use up all the cucumbers and tomatoes from your garden.
3 medium cucumbers - sliced 1/4" thick
1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
3 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Toss well to mix
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving
I love this stuff

I used apple cider vinegar and stevia instead of regular vinegar and sugar because that is what I had and it came out great!
ReplyDeleteThank you for using the stevia 🙌 as I was wondering how it would work with this as I have a son-in-law as well as myself that are diabetic.
DeleteOlive, Canolia or vegetable oil?
ReplyDeleteEither will work. I sometimes use a fruity olive oil. Yum anyway you do it!
DeleteProbably canola would work best.
ReplyDeleteGreat tasty dish and quick to prepare!
ReplyDeleteMade it twice; my. Wife asked that I add less sugar. I didn't have any mint on hand. Let's see how it tastes second time, excited! Alexander
ReplyDeleteHi have you tried oregano and parsley. I don’t use sugar at all. Just for thought! Good luck I hope you find it tasty
DeleteVirgin olive oil is much better
DeleteYeah it's highly recommended and nurishing, very nice salad 👍
ReplyDeleteI do one with tomatoes, onions and dill pickles all cut up and salt and mix . We love it!!
ReplyDeleteI make this too, but I do not use oil at all. My mother never dead and she’s from the farm in Texas and I tell you there to makes a big difference and I don’t use quite as much water and I do use apple cider vinegar. Hines is the best people say there’s no difference, but there is trust me I cooked for years and years and years I’m 81 now and I will never fix it any different I tried it several times with the oil, and it always warmed up being dumped out. The oil separates from everything floats on top, so it ruins the cucumbers and onions.
ReplyDeleteWhy the water? Do you know?
DeleteQuick, easy and delicious, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI cannot understand why you add a cup of water??? Doesn’t that just water down the taste?? Can’t you just leave it out??
ReplyDeleteNext time I make this,..sugar I will cut in half. I also added one big jalapeno as well as one avocado. And it came out amazing.
