Here’s a fresh, tangy version of your Marinated Cucumber, Onion, and Tomato Salad recipe—perfect for summer or as a side dish:
Marinated Cucumber, Onion, and Tomato Salad
Ingredients:
- 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 3–4 medium tomatoes, chopped or sliced
- 1/4 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano or fresh herbs (optional)
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
Place cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. - Make the Marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic (if using). - Combine:
Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss gently until evenly coated. - Marinate:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. For best results, let it marinate 3–4 hours or overnight. - Serve:
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish with grilled meats, sandwiches, or rice dishes.
This salad is crisp, tangy, and slightly sweet—a perfect make-ahead recipe that keeps well in the fridge for 2–3 days.
If you want, I can also give you a slightly spicier version with jalapeño and a zingy lemon twist that really makes it pop.
Do you want me to do that?
