Marinated Cucumber, Onion and Tomato Salad



So it's been a really long time since I posted anything! But life is busy. I looked through
a bunch of my pictures last night and discovered that I have TONS of pictures of food
that I've made but never got around to sharing the recipe. Now I don't even remember
what most of them are. I'm sure they were great and maybe someday I'll make them
again.  Anyway this is a recipe that Mom made and Dad loves it! He liked it so much
that he texted me pictures. So all the photos are his. 


1 cup water (leave it out or reduce it if your tomatoes are juicy) 
½ cup white vinegar
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp salt
Fresh coarse ground pepper to taste (up to 1 Tbsp if you like it really peppery.)
3 cucumbers peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick
3 tomatoes cut into wedges
1 onion sliced and separated into rings


Whisk together water, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper until smooth. Add cucumbers,
tomatoes, and onions and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. 

This is a great fresh salad to eat on its own. Dad put his over a cheese sandwich.
There's lots of liquid leftover when all the veggies are gone and I think I've heard
that Kellie will add more veggies to the liquid and use our more than once.
