Southern-Style Cucumber, Tomato, and Red Onion Salad

Southern-Style Cucumber, Tomato, and Red Onion Salad is a refreshing summer side dish made with thinly sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions. The vegetables are dressed in a mixture of apple cider vinegar, italian seasonings, and salt, and left to marinate for at least an hour before serving. This salad is perfect for barbecues, picnics, and other outdoor gatherings, and can be served chilled or at room temperature.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe red tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 medium red onion
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 packet of Italian Salad dressing mix
• 1/2 - 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Carefully, with a mandolin or a sharp knife, thinly slice your tomatoes, red onion and cucumbers into a large bowl. I like to use my cut free glove with doing this so that I don’t have to worry about slicing my hands when using my mandolin.
2. Once sliced, add remaining ingredients to your taste.
3. Mix well, cover and refrigerate about 30 minutes.
4. Stir again before serving and serve as a nice healthy garnish or salad with any heavy meal to cut through the heaviness.
5. Serve and enjoy!
