Cucumber Salad With Tomato And Red Onion Recipe

Cucumber Salad With Tomato And Red Onion

From sparroe 16 years ago

An addicting cool cucumber salad perfect for warm weather (though it's good year-round). From my German grandmother.

Mix vinegar, salt, sugar, and celery seeds in a measuring cup.
Peel the cucumber (either completely, or leaving a few stripes of green) and slice thinly
Slice the onion and tomato
Combine cucumber, onion and tomato in a bowl or a container with tight fitting lid.
Pour vinegar mixture over vegetables and either stir or cover and shake. The vegetables should be well coated in vinegar mixture.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to several days
Sprinkle with pepper and serve

My Oma made this too, but she added a little oil and some water to the dressing. Will have to try your version.

This was wonderful! It wasn't to vinegar-y for my family either. It had the perfect sugar salt balance to even it out. Love the addition of the celery seed! Thanks Sparroe. Added a pic. as well. My IMI review Cucumber Salad With Tomato And Red Onion
