Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest ones. Marinated cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes is one of those timeless dishes that shows how a handful of garden-fresh ingredients can transform into something crave-worthy. Light, tangy, and bursting with flavor, this side dish is perfect for warm days, family gatherings, or anytime you want a crisp, refreshing bite.
Why This Recipe Works
The secret to this salad is the marinade. It’s a blend of tangy vinegar, savory seasonings, and just enough sweetness to balance the flavors. As the vegetables soak in the marinade, they absorb all that goodness, making each bite juicy and full of zest.
This dish is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile—it pairs perfectly with grilled meats, sandwiches, or even a simple bowl of rice.
