How To Make tomato and cucumber salad

Cut the tomatoes into wedges and place in a non-reactive bowl. Peel the cucumbers (or not and cut them into 1/4 inch slices and add to the bowl. Peel and slice the onion, add to the bowl.

Step 2

Add remaining ingredients to a small bowl or measuring cup. Stir to combine, pour over veggies, and toss to coat.
Step 3

Cover and refrigerate overnight. When serving, use a slotted spoon to drain some of the liquid away. OPTIONAL: this is really good with bocconcini (pearl mozarella balls) and fresh basil added right before serving.
