Prep the veggies: Wash and chop the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. If using red onion, soak slices in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce pungency, then drain.
Combine: In a large glass bowl (like the one pictured), gently toss together the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions.
Dress it up: Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional herbs or sugar. Toss gently to coat.
Chill & serve: Let sit for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
✅ Tips:
For extra crunch, add a handful of chopped bell peppers or feta cheese.
Add a splash of balsamic glaze for a sweet-tangy twist.
Best served fresh — this salad doesn’t store well overnight as the veggies release water.
