If you want something simple, quick, and light then you’re going to love this fresh salad. It’s the best salad you could make on a busy day. Good for bbq, potlucks, picnics, or just about everything as a hand. It is the ideal summer salad you can enjoy throughout the whole year. All you need is fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and a couple of condiments that you already have in your oven. This salad has the perfect sweet-salty mix. Store this in glass containers, and chill for later use. Try this recipe for Marinated Cucumbers, Onions, and Tomatoes.
The ideal summer salad is marinated Cucumber, Tomato, and Onion Salad. It is both tangy and sweet, and it can’t beat the fresh crispness of the cucumbers and onions. During the months of summer, the cucumbers are so plentiful and inexpensive. If you’ve got a vegetable garden, you’ve no doubt got more to do than you know. For health benefits, cucumbers are also very low in calories and very high in water, which makes it an excellent way to stay full and hydrated throughout the summer. It is a summer family favorite salad, along with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions, and a basic mixture of oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. I enjoy serving it very, very cold, and just before serving, I always add ice cubes to it. It is very nice on a hot day in the summer!
