    Cucumber Tomato Salad

    Ingredients

    • 3 large (1 1/2 pounds) heirloom tomatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 4 small (10 ounces) Persian cucumbers, cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Instructions

    1. For the tomatoes, cut each into about 16 pieces by slicing in half horizontally and cutting each half into 8 wedges. Thinly slice the red onion. For the cucumbers, cut them into triangles. This is just what we did to give some nice visual appeal, but do whatever works for you.
    2. Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar (sherry, red wine, or white wine should also work) in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. (We prefer a healthy dose of black pepper.) Serve.
    3. If you're looking to jazz it up a bit, some fresh soft herbs (basil would be nice) and/or a little cheese (maybe goat or feta) would be great additions.
