AMAZING CUCUMBER BASIL SALAD

I created this salad because I had lots of fresh veggies and herbs from my garden that needed using up. It is so good, and because it makes its own dressing, it's very healthy as well. The flavor is best when left in the fridge overnight.

Steps:

  • Thin-slice the cucumbers and onions and put them in a container.

  • Pour in vinegar and water.
  • I use less vinegar than water, but you want the vinegar a little strong so it will get into the cucumber.

  • It keeps well in the refrigerator for days.
  • Add the tomatoes at the last minute.
