Cucumber, Tomato, and Onion Salad

@arecipe.bsky.social

This is a very flexible recipe. Except for the cucumbers and some form of diluted vinegar, you can adjust the recipe to your heart's content, for example adding dill. The addition of mayonnaise, a great deal of oil, or dairy products makes this into some other recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 large cucumbers
  • 1 small white onion, diced (perhaps a sliced green onion could be substituted)
  • 1 (or more, if in season) tomato, diced or wedged (optional, adds color)
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • Additional seasoning as you may desire (e.g. salt)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Peel the cucumbers, either completely or leaving some green, in a pattern you prefer.
  2. 2
    Slice cucumbers about ¼ inch (½ cm) thick.
  3. 3
    Add vinegar and water, adjusting the proportions to your taste. The end result is that the other ingredients will be floating in clear liquid.
  4. 4
    Refrigerate, then serve cool to cold, while the ingredients are still crisp.
