CUCUMBER SALAD WITH ONIONS AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR
4 medium cucumbers
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced*
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar**
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons chopped chives or dill (for garnish)
Peel the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a metal teaspoon. Cut the cucumbers into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Combine with all the ingredients except chives or dill and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Check seasonings and garnish with chives or dill.
*This salad is also very good with sweet onions (Vidalias or Walla Wallas--double the quantity if using one of these varieties).
**If you don't have balsamic vinegar, use red wine vinegar.
Makes 6 servings
