Cucumber Tomato Salad

2 cucumbers, sliced
2 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 cup sliced red onion
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill weed
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

In a large bowl, mix the vinegar, sugar, salt, dill, pepper, and oil. Add cucumbers, onion, and tomatoes. Toss, and let stand at least 15 minutes before serving.

**This is a great way to use your extra tomatoes or cucumbers from the garden. Or an excuse to buy cucumbers:) This seriously is one of the best cucumber tomato salads we've ever tried. We didn't peel the cucumber, but you can if you'd like. It doesn't sit well in the fridge, the tomatoes tend to go mushy just a bit. So make sure you're going to eat it all or serve it at a picnic. And if it's going to be a while before you serve it, make the dressing ahead of time and then mix it with the veggies fifteen minutes before you serve. That way they won't go soggy before you eat them. Pin It
