FREDA's Notes:

Harvesting Tomatoes and Cukes, and We love this Simple to put together Fresh "Chunky" Garden Salad.

This is a simple salad to Put together, But Note, It does Need to Marinate to Flavor the Vegies.
That is what the 3 Hrs is in the time of this recipe. only takes 10 min max to prepare.

Directions

Wash and Strip Green Rind off the Cukes every 1/2 inch around Cukes leaving some rind on the cukes,
In Medium Bowl, Slice and Cut slices in quarters.

Slice and dice tomatos.
If using Cherry Tomatoes, Cut each in 1/2.
Slice and Chop 1 " pieces of Onion.
Add to Cukes in the Bowl.
Add Avacodo, (OPTIONAL)
Add Crushed Garlic, toss this all very well.

Pour Dressing or RED Wine Vinegar over Vegies,
Marinate 2-3 Hrs in refer before Serving chilled.
I serve this Drained with a slotted spoon in a lettuce leaf Cup.
