Description
A bright, refreshing salad combining crisp cucumbers and juicy tomatoes with a tangy dill-vinegar dressing. Perfect for light meals, potlucks, or as an accompaniment to any dish.
Ingredients
2 large cucumbers (English or garden, peeled if desired)
3–4 medium ripe tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripened)
1/2 medium red onion (thinly sliced, optional)
1/4 cup fresh dill (chopped) or 1 tablespoon dried dill
1/4 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Chop cucumbers into 1-inch cubes and tomatoes into large dice.
In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion (if using).
In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir to coat.
Toss in fresh dill and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Adjust sugar and salt to taste based on vinegar strength and vegetable ripeness.
For a milder onion flavor, soak slices in cold water for 5 minutes before adding.
Chill for 4-6 hours for maximum flavor absorption.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
