Carolina Salad

This recipe is simple and refreshing, and always a crowd-pleaser!

• 3 medium tomatoes cut into small chunks
• 2 large cucumbers or 5 pickling cucumbers, peeled, halved and sliced
• 1 medium Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
• ½ cup white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

1. In a large salad bowl, gently stir tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions together, taking care to separate the onion pieces so that they resemble thin crescent moons.

2. In a small bowl, stir the remaining ingredients together (vinegar through pepper). Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and stir gently. Place in the refrigerator to “chill”.
