Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 cucumbers (thinly sliced, I usually use 2 large English cucumbers)
  • 1/2 cup red onion (very thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup apple cider or red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 medium tomatoes (chopped, or 2-3 cups of any tomato you like)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place the cucumbers and red onion in a bowl. Whisk together the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and oil until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour over the cucumbers and onions and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (and up to 6).
  • Pour off all but a few tablespoons of the liquid. Add the tomatoes and herbs and toss to combine. Serve and enjoy!
