Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 small red or white onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Wash and slice the vegetables. Start by giving your cucumbers a good rinse under cold water, then slice them thinly. Next, halve the cherry or grape tomatoes and slice the onion.
- Whisk the marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well blended.
- Combine the ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the sliced vegetables. Pour the marinade over the top and toss together until the veggies are nicely coated.
- Chill and enjoy. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
For best flavor, allow the salad to marinate for a couple of hours before serving. This salad pairs well with grilled meats or can be enjoyed on its own.
