Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 cucumbers, sliced Choose firm cucumbers for a crunchier texture.
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
Dressing
  • 1/4 cup vinegar (white or apple cider) You can also use red wine vinegar or rice vinegar for a different flavor.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar Adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley), optional Experiment with different herbs for varied flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to combine.
  4. Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  5. Stir again before serving and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The salad will keep well for up to 3 days. If you notice the vegetables becoming too soft, they can still be eaten, but they are best enjoyed within the first couple of days after marinating.
