My Grandma Made this “Marinated Cucumbers, Onions, and Tomatoes

🥒 Ingredients

  • 3 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced
  • 3 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 large red or white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for a sweeter taste)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Fresh chopped dill or parsley (optional, for garnish)

🥗 Instructions

  1. Prep the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl or jar, mix together the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
  3. Combine: Pour the marinade over the vegetables. Gently toss everything together until well coated.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better!) to let all the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Serve: Give it a gentle toss before serving. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired.

This refreshing salad is a classic Southern favorite—perfect for hot summer days or as a side for any comfort meal. 💚
