This refreshing, tangy salad is a classic summer side dish — crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and sweet onions all marinated in a simple vinegar dressing. It’s quick to make, light, and perfect with grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a stand-alone snack.

Ingredients:

• 2 cucumbers, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup vinegar (white or apple cider)
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1️⃣ Combine the Vegetables

In a large bowl, add the sliced cucumbers, tomato wedges, and thinly sliced onion.

2️⃣ Prepare the Marinade

In a small cup or bowl, mix together the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3️⃣ Toss and Coat

Pour the marinade over the vegetable mix. Use a large spoon or tongs to toss everything together until evenly coated.

4️⃣ Chill and Marinate

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to fully develop and the vegetables to soak up the tangy goodness.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve as a side dish with grilled chicken, steak, or fish
• Perfect topping for burgers or sandwiches
• Add feta cheese or fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor

This marinated salad is not only quick and easy, but it’s also incredibly versatile. You can make it ahead of time and enjoy it chilled throughout the week!
