3 cucumbers peeled and sliced ¼-inch thick

Instructions

Make the dressing:

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the water, vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar dissolves.

Prep the vegetables:

Peel and slice the cucumbers into ¼-inch rounds. Cut the tomatoes into wedges. Slice the onion and separate the rings.

Toss everything together:

Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion into the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat.

Let it sit:

You can serve it right away, but it tastes even better if it sits for 15–30 minutes. The flavors really come together.

Taste and adjust:

Give it a taste and add more salt, pepper, or vinegar if you want more tang.
