Ranch Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad image

So easy, so good. My newest summertime addiction. My SIL Jeni actually gave me the idea for this, so I want to make sure she gets credit! I'm sure this isn't a completely original recipe though, lol. I can usually only wait about 1/2 hour for the salad to meld together, but it has lasted a whole 24 hours in the fridge before I devoured the leftovers!

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 -12 cherry tomatoes
1 large cucumber
1/2 small onion
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the cucumbers and put in a bowl. Sprinkle with a little salt.
  • Halve or quarter the tomatoes depending on the size of the tomatoes and how big you like the pieces. Mix with the cucumbers.
  • Thinly slice the onion. I prefer it sliced, but I'm sure you could do a chopped onion instead. Mix with cucumbers and tomatoes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix with ranch dressing. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
