Units
Scale
- 1 small red onion or about 3/4 cup, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil (good quality extra virgin)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- 1 English cucumber, about 2 1/2 cups, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 2–3 small tomatoes, 2 1/2 cups, cut into bite-sized pieces (or sub cherry tomatoes)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the red onion with red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Let this sit at least 5 minutes while you chop the cucumbers and tomatoes.

Notes
Thin-skinned, seedless cucumbers make this super easy, no need to peel.
The Salad can be made a few hours before (wait to add dill) and refrigerated. Add dill right before serving.
Leftovers will keep up to 3 days.
