Looking for a light, refreshing salad that’s bursting with summer flavor and takes just minutes to prep? This simple yet incredibly flavorful mix of cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes—marinated in a sweet-tangy vinegar dressing—is your new go-to for picnics, potlucks, or easy weeknight dinners.

🥗 What’s Inside:

• 3 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
• 3 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
• 1/2 cup vinegar (white wine or rice vinegar works best)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
• 1/4 cup oil (vegetable or olive oil)

🥣 How to Make It:

1. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
2. Toss well until vegetables are coated in the dressing.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (the longer it chills, the better the flavor).
4. Serve cold. Enjoy every sweet, tangy, crunchy bite!

💡 Pro Tips:

• Want it spicier? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• Don’t skip the marinating time—this is what infuses all the flavor.
• Try adding fresh herbs like parsley or dill for a twist.
