Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a tomato salad with cucumber and onion? Prepare the products. Wash the vegetables and herbs well and dry them with napkins. You can take any vegetable oil.
Step 2:
If the skin of cucumbers is bitter, or too hard, or you just want the finished salad to be softer, then cut it off. Also cut off the tips of cucumbers. Cut the cucumbers themselves into small slices and put them in a salad bowl.
Step 3:
Cut tomatoes into slices about the same size and shape as cucumbers. Remove the bases of the pedicels. Add the chopped tomatoes to the cucumbers in a bowl.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut it into thin half rings or quarter rings. Add to the chopped vegetables, dividing the individual onion slices with your hands. It remains only to fill the tomato salad with cucumber and onion with vegetable oil, add salt to taste and add ground black pepper at your discretion. Do not forget to finely chop and add fresh dill.
Step 5:
Mix all the prepared ingredients and serve the salad immediately after cooking. It is delicious fresh.
Tomato salad with cucumber and onion is a good opportunity to experiment with various vegetable oils! You can take fragrant homemade sunflower oil - here it belongs! Try calcium-rich sesame oil or take the perfect win-win option - extra virgin olive oil!
The shape and size of slicing vegetables does not matter, the main thing is that both cucumbers and tomatoes are sliced approximately the same.
Onions can be cut not into thin half-rings, but into small cubes. Onions for such a salad are best to take salad varieties or young, sweet.
Dill is preferable to parsley in this salad. Dill is more fragrant and it is more tender, soft.
Vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.
To avoid irritating the mucous membrane of the eyes when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.
