Marinated Cucumber, Tomato & Onion Salad
Is it possible that three people could devour this entire Marinated Cucumber, Tomato & Onion Salad in one sitting? Yes we did! I love this so much but mostly with our fresh garden veggies. I wish August would never end! All these fresh vegetables are so delicious!
Ingredients
Start by rinsing the cucumbers and
the tomatoes. Peel the cucumbers
and slice them in half lengthwise
and then into 1/4″ slices.
Peel the onion, slice it in half
then slice it into 1/4″ pieces.
Separate all of the pieces.
Cut the top off of the tomatoes.
Cut them into bite size wedges.
Put the veggies into a large bowl.
Mix the veggies together.
In a medium bowl, mix the marinade
ingredients. I used an immersion
blender to mix mine. You can mix
anyway you would like,
even with a whisk.
Pour the marinade over the veggies
and toss. 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!

One of my favorites this time of year!
So refreshing!
Noticed you used white vinegar, is that by choice? Would apple cider or other milder vinegar work too? As always, thanks for the great tips. Aloha! 🙂
Whenever I make a sweet/sour combination I always use the white vinegar because I think it tastes better than the apple cider vinegar. So yes, personal preference.
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!
Awe what wonderful memories of your grandma! Thank you for sharing that!
Very tasty recipe 🙂
Thank You!!
Sounds awesome, the celery seed is a great idea
Thanks the celery seed gives a nice taste addition.
Am eating cuke/sweet onion/cherry tomato salad as I read your recipe. What a coincidence! Have not tried the touch of oil in my marinade, sounds like something good to try.
Hahaha great minds think alike!
I remember my mom used to make it. Yum! I’ve gotta make it this weekend!
It’s definitely an oldie but goodie!
Wow! that is colorful!
And good! Thanks!
Another version to the dressing is apple cider vinegar with pepper, and the onions used would be sweet onions. Yum
Yes that would be good as well! Thanks!
I love this!!!!! I’ve had other variations, but will try yours.
Thanks I hope you lik it!

You’re welcome! I love your word challenge. I sit here and can’t come up with anything!
I have determined not to use a dictionary Diane. But I sure you could add some culinary terms!
Ramekin, Roasting, Slicing, Simmering? 🙂

This is incredibly tasty! Refreshing and very healthy – I think this is what I am going to take with me this summer when we go picnicking in the woods:)
Oh what a great dish for that! No mayonnaise and so fresh and delicious! Thank you Laureen!
I love this in the summer time when veggies are fresh. I have never put olive oil or celery seed in mine…I will have to try them. Hugs
I have spring fever so bad! I am getting the itch to work outside in the yard but it is so wet with water laying! Have a great weekend Mags!
I am anxious to get out and work in the yard, but it is the same here…we have had so much rain it is like a bog. I hope you are having a nice weekend.
Pro cook and gardener, for reals! 🍅
