Is it possible that three people could devour this entire Marinated Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad in one sitting? Yes we did! I love this so much but once again, only with fresh garden veggies. I wish August would never end! All these fresh vegetables are so delicious!

Start by washing the cucumbers and the tomatoes. Peel the cucumbers and slice them in half lengthwise and then into 1/4″ slices.

In a medium bowl, mix the marinade ingredients. I used an immersion blender to mix. You can mix any way you would like, even with a whisk.

Pour the marinade over the veggies and mix. Cover and refrigerate for at least on hour or longer. But honestly, mine never last that long. We are into it after 1/2 hour and it’s still delicious!

  3. My grandmother used to keep a perpetual container of this salad in the fridge. As we used it up, she’d just keep adding more
    veggies to the mix, with the original vinegar dressing, which miraculously never seemed to run out. Somehow, like sourdough starter, it just kept replenishing itself!
