Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 large tomatoes chopped
  • 1/4 cup 60ml white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh parsley or dill optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Whisk or spoon for mixing
  • Storage container (for marinating)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:
  2. Wash and slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place all of the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Make the Marinade:
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
  5. Toss and Marinate:
  6. Pour the marinade over the cucumber, onion, and tomato mixture. Toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly in the dressing.
  7. Chill:
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let it marinate for 1–2 hours.
  9. Serve:
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill, if desired. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light snack.
