Directions :

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

  1. Slice the Cucumbers: Peel the cucumbers if desired, then slice them thinly. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Cut the Tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes into wedges. If using cherry tomatoes, halve them. Add the tomatoes to the bowl with the cucumbers.
  3. Slice the Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the other vegetables.

Step 2: Make the Marinade

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, water, olive oil, sugar, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

Step 3: Marinate the Vegetables

  1. Mix the Salad: Pour the marinade over the vegetables in the large mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the marinade.
  2. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Serve Cold: Before serving, give the salad a good toss to redistribute the marinade. Serve the salad cold, straight from the refrigerator.
