We loved this but I made a couple tiny changes - used white wine vinegar and white balsamic vinegar subbed honey for the agave and reduced it to 1 tsp. I also used red onion and left it in slices (easier for picky eaters to remove) and I have an assortment of heirloom cherry-sized tomatoes so I just halved them. Pretty colorful and delicious! We could have this every night!
I liked this salad a lot. I had to do some variations- didn't have champagne vinegar so I used apple cider vinegar instead. Also used roma tomatoes instead of heirloom. It did have a strong vinegar taste but I really liked this and so did my husband.
I used 2 large cucumbers instead of one large and two small. I used what tomatoes and onion I had on hand--which was 2 romas and a purple onion. I used white wine vinegar. I thought the onion and the vinegar flavor over whelmed the taste of the tomato and the cucumber but over all it was pretty good. I think this would work better as a part of a larger salad involving some lettuce and grilled chicken to round out a meal. After the flavors meld and the juices start to come out there is a great dressing that shouldn't go to waste!
A nice refreshing summer salad. The longer this recipe can marinade the better it gets. The flavors of this salad come together really well. Thanks Pinkmonkey19 for sharing.
I m lucky. My husband and I own an oil and vinegar store. I had champagne vinegar and used a Picual EVO and a garlic infused white balsamic. Awesome after an hour and I m looking forward to lunch tomorrow. Needed more salt in my opinion but I m a good quality saltaholic
This is a fantastic recipe and while the picture shows it as a salad with slices of cucumber and onion I finely diced the cucumber tomato and red onion which made it more of a salsa-type mixture and also a garnish to the more traditional green salad. Definitely a favorite!
Wonderful salad. I do a little less sweetener and more tomatoes. Sometimes also switch and do red onions. Love it. Thanks!
Delicious! I had a champagne pear vinegar on hand I used. Definitely leave time for e salad to sit in the marinade overnight if you can. Extremely easy to make and very tasty to boot. Will definitely make again.
