Cucumber & Tomato Salad
My family had the opportunity to travel around the world when I was younger. When we were in Switzerland visiting some friends, an older couple, she made this dish for us. At that point I was going into 4th grade and didn't care much for the onions, but ate everything else. Now that I am older, I am enjoying and eating the onions in this dish. :-) My mom always told me that when we get older we like more foods than we do when we are younger. It is true! Yet I can't bring myself to like sauerkraut, lima beans, or sweet potatoes. Maybe when I am 60! It is one that taste better the longer everything is together. So make it ahead if you are having it for dinner or taking it to a potluck! And for those of you that are growing gardens, like we are, you will have all these things on hand.
3 small Cucumbers
3 small Tomatoes
1 small Onion
1 tsp Salt
Dash of Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
3 or 4 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
3 or 4 Tbsp White Vinegar
2 Tbsp Sugar
Some Parsley
Mix all these ingredients together. And add seasonings to your taste.
Note: You don't want to use Olive Oil for this recipe. It doesn't have the flavor that it does with vegetable Oil. I tried it a while back and the flavor just wasn't there. Also, White Vinegar is better than the apple cider vinegar, again because of taste.
