Cucumber Tomato and Red Onion Salad with Mint

Earlier today I pulled our first  cucumber out of the garden along with spearmint, sage, and some basil flowers. I started thinking about making a really yummy salad. Here is a recipe to one of the salads I will be making.

 

 

 

Cucumber Tomato and Red Onion Salad with Mint

YIELD Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

• • 2 large English hothouse cucumbers (you can use other varieties of cucumbers just check for bitterness as some tend to be a little bitter in taste.
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large tomatoes, seeded, coarsely chopped
  • 2/3 cup coarsely chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

PREPARATION

1. 1. Start by washing and cutting your cucumbers in half lengthwise. It is optional to remove or leave seeds inside. I prefer to leave the seeds inside mine.
   2. Cut cucumber halves diagonally in 1/2-inch-wide pieces.
   3. In a large bowl add vinegar, sugar and salt. Let stand at room temperature  for 1 hour.
   4. Combine tomatoes, red onions, mint (or basil if you are not a mint person) and  olive oil to cucumbers.
   5. Toss in seasoning
   6. Add salt and pepper to taste
