Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Red Onions

Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Red Onions

Crunchy cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions and fresh dill all dressed in a simple vinaigrette for a beautiful summer salad.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3-4 ripe tomatoes I used heirloom tomatoes
  • 3-4 Kirby cucumbers or 1 thin English cucumber
  • ⅓ red onion sliced thinly
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or herb of your choice
  • For the salad dressing
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp good quality extra virgin olive oil I used unrefined olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp Dijon mustard or multigrain mustard
  • salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small mason jar combine the red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard and salt, put a lid on and shake till the vinaigrette emulsifies.

Using a mandolin or a sharp knife slice the cucumbers, tomatoes and red onions. Combine all ingredients in a salad bowl, top with fresh dill or another herb if using. Start by adding 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and tossing the salad gently, taking care not to tear the thinly sliced ingredients. Add more dressing if desired. Reserve the rest for another use. Serve immediately
