Tomato Cucmber Onion Salad

A classic Romanian salad that is fresh, sweet, and extra juicy to enjoy with bread.

Ingredients

1. 5 medium sized tomatos
2. 2 medium sized cucumbers
3. 2 medium sized onions
4. Salt
5. Vegetable Oil
6. 1 medium sized pepper (optional)
7. Pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Cut up all of the veggies into your prefered shape and size. I like to cut quarter size chunks.

2. In a large bowl put the onions, followed by salt. Hand rub the salt into the onions or use a spoon to coat the onions in salt. The salt will extract flavor from the onion and also neutralize the flavor.

3. Add cucumbers and mix thoroughly. The cucumbers should absorb some fo the remaining salt to bring out the flavor of the cucumber.

4. Add tomatoes and oil to preference. Then mix everything.

5. Add pepper if you would like and enjoy the salad as a side and some bread to dip into the juice at the bottom. (my family and I also fight over who gets the delicious juice at the bottom with bread and most times it’s gone before the salad is!)

Enjoy!
