One side dish that you can never go wrong with during the summertime is a refreshing, cool salad. All kinds of salad can satisfy your need for a healthy and light accompaniment to a heavier main dish, but we want to share our favorite with you today.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are the star players in this refreshingly delicious salad which you are sure to enjoy. Here’s how to make it!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe tomatoes, medium-sized
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
- The first thing you’ll want to do is cut the tomatoes and cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces. Once you’re done with this step, place them into a large bowl.
- Next, go ahead and slice the red onion into thin, almost transparent slices and add to the bowl along with the tomatoes and cucumber.
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper on the ingredients, and then add the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Stir thoroughly, ensuring that the secondary ingredients blend together to make a sort of vinaigrette.
- Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place into your refrigerator to allow the salad to cool and for the vegetables to absorb the vinaigrette that you’ve created. After a couple of hours, your salad is chilled and ready to serve. Enjoy!
