I’m not quite sure why it’s not called a Tomato, Onion, & Cucumber Salad considering onions are in it too but, nevertheless, it’s a favorite around here and an easy to one to make!
Per my mother’s advice, I used a big mason jar to give it “the look”. Of course, I was unable to find a lid and had to transform into MacGyver for a minute but no problemo for this girlio. I simply placed a plastic wrap sheet on the top of the jar and stretched a rubber band around to seal it;) My mom should really get her own food blog…she would make it wonderful!
Salads increase in popularity over the summer because they’re a cool, healthy dish that’s easy to make and serve. I personally don’t like onions or cucumbers so this isn’t one of my faves. I am picky though and am trusting everyone else’s taste buds on this dish. They praise it every time unless they’re just stroking my ego???
- 4 medium tomatoes diced or sliced the way you want them
- 2 medium cucumbers, peeled & sliced
- 2 onions, sliced and separated into rings
- 2 Tbsp. Vinegar
- ¼ c. Oil, I used Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- 2 tsp. minced fresh parsley.
- Cut and set aside your cut up tomatoes, cucumbers & onions.
- In your bowl or mason jar, pour in the remaining ingredients and mix or shake.
- Toss in your cut up veggies and mix or shake until thoroughly coated.
- Marinate 2hrs before serving.
Viola! Ready to serve and eat:)

Yum!! One of my favorite summer salads.
Love your salad, always crave this when summer starts to heat up.
I’ve been eating how my dad made them for 50 years. Like your recipe much better?
This looks so good & simple to make. Can’t wait to try it.
It is just my husband and myself at home these days. When I make this, I do not put my tomatoes in. We like our tomatoes stout..not mash like..to soft. When get ready to service this, I place slice tomatoes in a bowl and then add the rest over. Sit for a for a few minutes. It is so good.
That’s a great idea Audrey! I bet that does make it taste better!
This is more or less the way I bottle mussels. The mussels taste really nice with they veggies. I leave them for three to four days before eating them. As I live in NZ I use green lipped mussels.
Try this with red onions I bet you’ll love it even more.
my cucumbers are still producing and I have lots of grape tomatoes. the salad sounds wonderful, If I make it now (mid Aug) will it still be okay for family even first weekend in October? would pickling salt help it keep longer? thanks
I use cilantro, red pinions and celery in mine 😊
I love salads. I am going to try this with vidalia onions (I love them, also). Yours looks and sounds great and I bet sweet vidalias make it even better. Thanks for posting.
