An Easy Cool Cucumber Salad Recipe With Tomatoes

• 1/4 cup cider vinegar (we like 2 tblsp Modena balsamic vinegar with 1 tblsp red wine vinegar, for added flavor)
• 1 teaspoon white sugar (or Turbinado sugar for richer flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill weed (dried works, if you don't have fresh)*
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cucumbers, peeled, sliced or cubed (seeded, if you prefer)
• 1/2 medium white onion, sliced (Walla Walla Sweet, Vidalia, Red)
• 2 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges (Roma's, or a pint of cherry tomatoes, cut in half, for more fun)
• 1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled, or 2 cups mozzarella cheese, cubed small

1. In a covered jar or bowl, shake or thoroughly mix the first 7 ingredients.
2. Combine the last 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Pour mixture over the salad, and toss lightly. Chill for an hour. Longer, for more intense flavor. Remember to toss on occasion.

*A wonderful substitution: Fresh Basil for Dill Weed
