When the weather warms up, there is nothing quite like a light and refreshing side dish to brighten your table. This Marinated Cucumber, Onion, and Tomato Salad is the perfect companion for a summer cookout or a simple weeknight meal. The crisp vegetables are tossed in a tangy vinaigrette, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully for a dish that is as delicious as it is easy to make.
To prepare this salad, start by combining 2 thinly sliced medium cucumbers, 1 thinly sliced medium red onion, and 3 chopped medium tomatoes in a large bowl. For the dressing, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil, ¼ cup of red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper in a small bowl until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour your vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated. Add 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped dill and toss once more. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling time allows the crisp vegetables to absorb the tangy dressing, resulting in a perfectly marinated salad.
This recipe is a classic for a reason—it’s vibrant, healthy, and incredibly refreshing!
