Cold Cucumber Tomato Salad

Cold Cucumber Tomato Salad

 

For as long as I can remember, a bowl of this salad was kept in the refrigerator in the summer. It was continually replenished as the cucumber and tomato harvest continued.

 

Yield: 2 cups

 

2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced

 

1 large tomato, cut in small wedges

 

1 small green bell pepper, seeded and julienned

 

1 small purple onion, peeled and thinly sliced

 

1/3 cup vegetable oil

 

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

 

3 tablespoons sugar

 

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

 

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

 

Place the cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and onions in a medium bowl. In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Shake to emulsify and dissolve the sugar.

 

Pour over the vegetables, tossing gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
