How do I make Cucumber and Tomatoe Salad?

Question

Hey Everybody,
I was trying to think of something to eat for tomm. night w/ corn and then I remembered a recipe in which my mom use to make in which it had:

cucumbers
vinegar
tomatoes
some onions

It may have had a couple other things, but I can't remember. It was pretty sweet too (from the vinegar). I called my Mom and she said she can't remember, its been like 5 years since she's made it. If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it. I tried looking it up online but got weird things like "red wine", "watermelon", "garlic" and so on. I know "weird" ingredients weren't included.

Thanks ya'll :o)

Answer 3

Cut several regular sized tomatoes into 6-8 wedges, I use a whole vidalia sliced thinly, one seedless cucumber (I use these because I like to leave the skin on) sliced. Combine 3 Tablespoons Balsamic vinegar with 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp salt, whisk until salt is dissolved. Whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil and pour over vegetables. You can let set for a few minutes to let the vegetables soak up the flavor.

Answer 4

The way I do that kind of salad is just toss some roughly chopped (NOT diced, not too small) sweet bell peppers (red and yellow), tomatoes, cucumbers, and a small amount of romain or baby arugula lettuce with fat free italian dressing (two tablespoons = just 15 calories!) and also some curry spice and pepper. The curry gives it a great earthy flavor. I love it, and I don't like onions raw so I only add onions when my mom (an onion fanatic) wants some. I hope that helps, you should try it! Its my fave low-cal recipe of the summer.

Answer 9

It's *real* complicated, so pay attention!

Chopped tomatoes (can skin or not)
Chopped cukes (can peel or not)
onion slivers (so they're easy to pick out, but will flavor the salad)
Couple splashes of vinegar
salt and pepper

Combine all.
