Summer Cucumber Salad

Gather up some garden-fresh produce and enjoy this speedy salad. It only takes 5 minutes to assemble!

Serves 3

1 medium cucumber (4 1/2 ounces)

Plum tomatoes (6 ounces)
2 TBL apple cider vinegar
1 TBL extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Peel cucumber. Slice it down the center and scoop out the seeds, then slice cucumber into chunks.

My kitchen helper, summer 2011. Time flies–but he still likes cucumbers!

I have my sous-chef use a melon baller to seed the cucumbers. This technique works really well.

Dice tomatoes and slice onion into very thin strips.

Combine cucumber, tomatoes and onions in serving bowl.

Mix cider vinegar and oil with salt and pepper. Toss with vegetables.
