Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups sliced Roma tomatoes
- 2 cups sliced cucumber
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 – 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Combine sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk the remaining ingredients together.

- Whisk once more and immediately pour over vegetables.
- Stir.
- Cover and allow to chill for at least an hour prior to serving for best flavor.
Notes
The Roma tomato isn’t required, but nice because of their firmness. Two cups of halved cherry or grape tomatoes would work great as well.
If you are purchasing cucumbers from the store, English cucumbers work great since they have a lower seed count. However, any smaller cucumber will do.
