Cucumber Tomato Salad
Hey foodies. I hope you all have had a great week. We have been enjoying some beautiful weather in Harrisonburg this week, so I was in the mood to make something fresh and cool. Therefore, for the end of Health Haze week, I am bringing you one of my favorite salad recipes, cucumber and tomato salad.
Thing you will need:
- 1 cucumber
- 1 small carton of cherry tomatoes
- 1 small sweet onion
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- ½ tbsp. dried oregano
- 1 ½ tbsp. sugar
First you will need to cut your cucumber into bite sized pieces, half your cherry tomatoes (any other kind of tomato will work too, but I think the cherry ones hold up better) and cut your onion into small slices. Feel free to add any other vegetables you like; I am adding green peppers because I love them, but they aren’t necessary. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the non-vegetable ingredients. You will need to whisk rather rapidly to dissolve the sugar and combine the vinegar and oil (you can also use a blender or food processor if you want it to do the work for you). Season with salt and pepper to flavor. Then add the cut vegetables to a bowl and pour the marinade over them. Let sit in the refrigerator covered for at least 1 hour so the flavors have a chance to combine. This is a great dish to bring to a potluck or enjoy alongside any dinner and it’s delicious and healthy. Enjoy the weekend foodies!
