Tomato, Onion, & Cucumber Salad


Try giving everyone their own mason jar to give it a special shake - you know - interactive salad. Kids would love that!

4 medium tomatoes diced or sliced the way you want them
2 medium cucumbers, peeled & sliced
2 onions, sliced and separated into rings
2 Tbsp. Vinegar
1/4 c. Oil, I used Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. minced fresh parsley - or dried if that is all you have
Feta or blue cheese crumbles, optional

Set aside your cut up tomatoes, cucumbers & onions. In your bowl or mason jar, pour in the remaining ingredients and mix or shake. Throw in tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions into the jar with the mixture and toss around until mixed good. Marinate 2 hrs before serving. I ususally marinate one hour on the table at room temperature and one hour in the frig!



Here we go!
