Make this tangy, refrigerator cucumber salad. Cucumbers and tomatoes marinate in a simple vinegar dressing with fresh dill and red onion for deep flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 4 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumbers and tomatoes. Place them in a large bowl along with the thinly sliced red onion.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar and salt dissolve. This is your vinegar marinade.
  3. Pour the marinade evenly over the vegetables in the large bowl.
  4. Gently toss the vegetables to coat them completely with the dressing.
  5. Stir in the fresh chopped dill.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. For the best flavor, marinate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
  7. When ready to serve, give the salad one final gentle toss.

Notes

  • This make ahead salad recipe tastes best when it has time to sit, allowing the vegetables to absorb the tangy flavor.
  • You can substitute red wine vinegar for white vinegar for a slightly different tang.
  • If you prefer a sweeter profile, increase the sugar slightly, but taste the marinade first.
