Many say this is a great summer dish, but I find that I crave it ALL YEAR ROUND! Very addicting, goes with everything, very fast and easy, and always impresses with its amazing flavor!

Toss cucumber, tomato, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red onion, and white pepper together in a large bowl; season with salt. Refrigerate until slightly chilled, 10 to 15 minutes.


I actually didn't try this particular recipe, but I make something similar very often. I cut up the cucumber, tomatoes and red onion, then add red wine vinegar dressing..I believe it's wishbone, then add salt and pepper...delicious every time! ALWAYS add salt...it makes the cucumbers absorb the dressing...makes a hug difference!

I love this salad and make it all summer long. I, too, use about half the oil, and I add a little sugar (maybe a teaspoon or two for this amount of veggies) and some chopped fresh oregano and parsley (a tablespoon or so of each--they add eye appeal, too). And I usually do a quick seeding of the tomatoes &amp; cukes with my thumb just to help cut down on the liquid. Goes great with grilled anything!

Absolutely delicious! Made just as recipe states. Thank you for sharing. =)

Love the colors and taste of summer in this dish. Made this for a party so 4 tomatoes, 4 cukes, 3/4 red onion. Definitely need to deseed the veggies (loved the comment about using your fingers for the tomatoes #greatTip. Reduced to 1/4 c olive oil and red wine vinegar and added 1tsp of sugar. Also used black instead of white pepper because I was out.

Just a tad to vinegary for me but nice and easy, flavourful and color full.

yes, a little sugar is nice.  Cuts the vinegar a bit.

This was really good but I wish I had used white vinegar instead of red wine. That's just a personal preference based on how my mom used to make it.

I made this as directed and added 1/2 teas. of sugar and it was absolutely delicious.  Love all the beautiful colors, you could add fresh basil if you have it, I am sure it would increase the taste.

Delicious summer salad.  I added green olives, it was actually a good touch.

A neighbor gave me several cucumbers, another several tomatoes, and we had several Walla Walla Sweet onions so I needed a recipe... I was almost out of Red Wine Vinegar so I used Golden Balsamic. A little Olive Oil, per recipe, and I sprinkled a little Oregano, Dill, and fresh ground Pepper on it (no salt) OMG!!  Best Cucumber salad ever!!!

Perfect!  I didn't measure anything...used less olive oil than recipe called for, but then again I think I used less veggies...so that's to taste really.  Wish I had home grown tomatoes, would've been even better, but I really loved this and it's super easy and uses ingredients I normally have.  Oh and to SpikeRox...I did use white balsamic vinegar because that's what I had (and I love on everything) and it was great.  Thank you for recipe!

So easy, fresh and delish. Added a little splenda because I have a sweet tooth. Served with a steak dinner. Everyone loved it. Thank you for the recipe. It will be in our regular rotation.

I made it for a crowd on Christmas and everyone loved it. Colorful and easier than having a conventional salad on the plate with other sides.   I didn't read the reviews first and had way too much oil.  Half is the answer.

My husband has tummy issues so when I came across this salad I was excited.  I used an english cucumber, zucchini, green onion, a little fresh basil and like others, I added a little sugar.  Really good on those hot summer days.

This reminds me of the summer salads my mom made when I was a kid. I love her dearly, but she isn't the greatest cook. They say it skips a generation. ANYWAY... Instead of chopping, I sliced the onions and cukes paper thin. I sliced the onion about an eighth of an inch thick. Like the other folks, I reduced the oil by half and added some sugar. Also, I mixed the dressing, onions and cukes together first and then added the tomatoes, so they wouldn't get all beat up. Delicious!

I am giving this 4 stars because it was soooo good, but I did make some changes after making a small test batch and tasting the dressing. Used half the amount of EVOO and less than half the vinegar (because it was a bit acidic), so basically halved the amount of liquid in the dressing and it was still plenty. Also halved the amount of red onion and reduced the amount of salt a bit. Added a generous heap of parsley flakes for color and flavor. Served it alongside barbecue at a big party I was hosting and it was a hit!

Simple and pretty little salad that really will complement just about anything.  I cut the oil in half to reduce the fat grams with no sacrifice to flavor IMO.  There was a lot of juice in the bowl as a result of the cukes and the tomatoes releasing liquid, so I did need a slotted spoon to serve.  Next time, I might try squeezing the tomatoes a little to get some of the juice and seeds out and maybe even cut the vinegar back a little.  Nothing fancy here, just a nice little salad that is sure to please everybody.

I loved the flavors.  The issue I had was WAY too much dressing.  I tried it with 1/4 c vinegar and 1/4 c oil and it still was too much.  The salt and pepper I left the same.  I will still make it because it was really good, but I will add much more veggies and a dash of honey.

I will cut olive oil by 2/3 next time and add filtered water in place of it. Way too much olive oil...

Excellent! Definitely use half the amount of liquid. My veggies were floating! I let the veggies marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes then I spooned out the excess liquid. I'll be making this again and again this summer!

This recipe is great! I've made it several times. The last time I used a red wine vinegar with garlic, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, yummy!!

My grandma made this recipe for years and loved it every holiday at her home. She used yellow onions and Italian bread for dipping....mmmm good!

Too much vinegar. Also could use something starchy, tofu or beans maybe?

Simple and absolutely yummy. I used hothouse cucumbers which already taste good by themselves, I planned on just dressing them with nothing else.  it was yummy right away...but then I said to myself, you know what I'll add tomatoes that sounds so good. Then I said, you know what, let me add a white onion (didn't have red) that sounds so good. So I accidentally made the whole recipe and it was good each step of the way. Its tangy and balanced. I don't really enjoy raw tomatoes but I found myself fixing the perfect bite, 2 slices of cuke, one slice tomato and a slice of onion. After letting it sit for 15 minutes it was even better. I even offered some to my teenager that I don't even like talking to because it was so good I had to share. Thank you for this recipe!

I'm  making this  salad every two weeks during the summer time. I can't get enough!

Definitely will be using this recipe many more times.  May add some mozzarella cheese to it also.

I have a basil plant on my porch that is growing like crazy in the summer heat, so I added approx. 12 leaves, rinsed and chopped, to this recipe.  Refrigerated longer, approx an hour  and stirred a few times while in the fridge to blend the flavors.  It is not necessary to refrigerate that long, I happen to like cold, crisp salads in the summer time.  Delicious!

This is a great dish. I keep the tomatoes in wedges, the zucchini  in round quarter inch slices, and onion in strips. Don't skimp on the sugar. Balance the vinegar and oil to the sugar. Omit pepper. Add a bunch of FRESH CHOPPED BASIL.

This is delish! I used English cucumber and grape tomoatoes because they are firmer, I cut back on the oil, and added fresh basil. I will make again soon!

Gotta say, I didn't love the red wine vinegar in this.  I've made it for years with  reg vinegar and prefer that.

Great recipe... I added some fresh oregano from my herb garden!

This was amazing! I'm giving it 4 stars because I added some minor things.. A splash of balsamic rice wine vinegar, and also about a tablespoon of fresh cilantro. This is my new favorite (and healthy!) side dish/salad! *EDIT*: Be careful if you make this in advance and let it sit in the fridge overnight, the oil clumps up and goes to the top of the salad (which any kind of fat does).. Take it out of the fridge an hour or so before  serving so the oil reincorporates itself with the rest of the salad.

I love cucumber salad. This was easy to make with simple ingredients. I used Vidalia onions and fresh cucumbers from the farm.  I did add some parsley flakes and garlic salt to the salad.

Fresh, fast easy and great mix of taste and texture.

So easy and quick.  Loved it, even as leftovers  the next day!

Followed to the letter it was great took it to church supper.

7 18 17 ... http://allrecipes.com/recipe/223397/tomato-cucumber-onion-salad/ ... Good &amp; definitely easy!  As SuzyQ said when recommending it, lessss dressssing - or a bigger salad.  I wonder how wild it would be to have a spring mix in a bowl, cheese &amp; top with this &amp; some pumpernickel croutons.  'Sounds good to me!  That extra dressing will marinate &amp; be a dressing!  I liked it.  Thanks for posting!

Love this light, fresh and colorful salad.  I used cherry tomatoes instead of regular and added in orange bell pepper and fresh basil too.  Perfect for a hot, summer day!

The recipe was very tasty.  I followed the instructions, and found that the amount of dressing produced was about twice as much as needed.   Will make it again, but halve the ingredients for the dressing.

After reading the reviews, I altered the recipe for more flavor and less liquid.  It seemed just right to our taste.  
2 C tomatoes
2 C cucumber
1/2  C red onion
2 tsp white pepper - a bit less if you don't care for pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 C red wine vinegar
1/4 EV Olive Oil

What a tasty and healthy salad that is easy to make. I divided it into two and cut the onion in half, just put it in mine. We started with cherries and ate the salad with BLATs! Great on the deck with ice tea or a glass of wine!

I agree with others, cut the vinegar and oil in half and add sugar. Fantastic

I love this. It's the one I was looking for. Yum! I'm about to eat some now for lunch.

Very good, easy salad.  My rating is based on tasting it before making changes. Afterwards, I added a bit of parsley just to enhance the presentation.  This would also be a nice base recipe to build upon. Kudos to the original poster, and thanks for sharing it with us!

Great simple recipe! I usually leave everything the way it is but sometimes add crumbled feta.

Absolutely delicious.   I used a tad less olive oil and added a tsp sugar.  Will make it again.

Tomato Cucumber Onion Salad by Kissthecook.   Too much dressing.  Spring mix under, pumpernickel croutons on top perhaps.

Loved it! Quick and easy to make.  Out of habit I added 1 tsp of sugar. Cut the vinegar.

I love this recipe.  I make it every week during the summer.   I halved the oil like suggested.  I also wilted the ingredients in a colander with salt for 30 minutes.   I then rinsed the salad and added the dressing.  Delish!!

Add black olives and less oil and vinegar

This recipe is just okay. I put the 1 teaspoon of ground white pepper and I think that is way too much. It was also way too acidic! I added a teaspoon of sugar but I think I'm going to have to add more. I won't make this again.

My two year old couldnt get enough much to my surprise. I did add about 3tsp of honey as a binder for the vinaigrette and only made half the vinaigrette mentioned in recipe. Everything was still swimming in it but it was vibrant and crisp and went well with a mexican dinner.

Yummy taste.  I doubled the amount of cucumbers and tomatoes, and ended up with leftovers.   Upon refrigeration, the olive oil congealed.   I will make with canola oil instead.  The seasoning is perfect and the red wine vinegar adds just enough sweetness I think- no sugar necessary!

Used with an heirloom tomato, pickling cucumber, and sweet white onion from my farm share. Made with half the dressing and it was perfect!

Absolutely delicious!!! Perfect for a summer dinner!

One of my favorites for summer produce. Sometimes I add sweet peppers or other garden bounty.

this is a very good and fresh tasting salad excellent addition to any meal!

WAY too much oil and vinegar. 1/4 cup of oil and 1/8 cup of vinegar, and you have a winner.

It was soupy.  Next time I will add half the oil and vinegar.  I am going to add 1/4 cup sugar as others have suggested.

wonderful....added small amount of celery...more red onions...will continue to make...add oregano for interest and appeal as stated in review

This is my husband's favorite salad. I change nothing and it's
really delicious!

Excellent! Added a little basil from the garden too. Fresh, crisp recipe

I added red and orange peppers slices and used sweet onion! Very good

I expected this to be better.  I had orange tomatoes from a friend which were not ideal too mushy.  Next time I'll try Roma.  And it doesn't last.   But I like the dressing.  So I will try again.  By the way, I used the amounts I needed for the dressing, quarter cups instead of half.  Still needs something to pep it up.

Couldn’t get past the overwhelming red wine vinegar. Added about 1/4 cup sugar and it helped. If I make it again, I’ll substitute balsamic for the red wine.

This was excellent!  Read the reviews, used 1/4c light olive oil and 3/4 c vinegar, 2 T sugar, salt, pepper and some Tuscan garlic spice.  I made only one batch of dressing for 4 amounts of veggies.  When the cookout was over I just added more veggies to the juice!

Delicious. My mom used to make this and it was delicious but when I would make, it was inconsistent. Now that I have this recipe, I’ve used it many times and my family loves it.

Great Flavor!  I didn't have white pepper, so I made it with regular black pepper and that was okay.  It doesn't keep too long - I had to eat the leftovers within 2 days, so keep that in mind.  I will definitely make that again.

I love this salad and so does my husband!!

So quick and easy! Excellent for a summer side dish! I added a little garlic powder and some parsley...so pretty.

I made this as a side dish for a BBQ. Everyone raved about it. I added some Italian seasoning and halved the oil and vinegar. Delicious! I would definitely make it again.

Made it for supper this evening. Doubled everything, but could have just done half the dressing. Super saucy! But tasty! Next time I  make less dressing for sure.

Super easy and basic and delicious.  Exactly what I was looking for.

I made this salad as a side dish. I loved it and so did my husband. Thank you for the recipe.

Like others, I cut the vinegar and oil back to 1/2 and added a tsp. Of sugar.  I added some sweet banana pepper we had around and yum!  I think next time I’ll try it with rice vinegar instead.

Fantastic. I took advice of others &amp; cut the oil &amp; vinegar n half as well as added 1tsp. if sugar. Tastes Amaaaaaazing. Thx for sharing

I added fresh basil, oregano, parsley and stevia leaves (instead of sugar) chopped fine in a food processor , am thinking about using the brine for fruit - blueberries, watermelon, peaches, serve it with a slotted spoon to leave behind the brine.

Very tasty - I added a bit of Balsamic vinegar at the end because the olive oil was a touch much. Always better after you let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours. I plan to make this again.

All the tastes of summer in a bowl! Made it with Tomato Pie 1 recipe, great combo

Used half the liquids, thank you to reviewers. My husband said it was good too!

This was exactly what I was looking for!!  My only modification was to sub black pepper for white pepper since I don't keep it in my pantry. Will make this again and again!

I only had half a cucumber half a small onion and some cherry tomatoes. We will see how it tastes when hubby gets home! Super easy and very tasty.

I read the reviews and used 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 red wine vinegar.  It was a hit!  So easy, so healthy, and so good!

Great salad. I like it with more zest. I added jicama and a little Tajín seasoning. Used less dressing. Sharing with my family for Easter brunch. I’m sure they will love it.

Really simple instructions to follow. I didn’t have red wine vinegar so I substituted balsamic. I also added Italian seasoning because I’m extra like that. My boyfriend who doesn’t care for tomatoes liked it as did my almost 14 yr old son who doesn’t care for vegetables in general.

Excellent for summer garden vegetables use. Will  make again.

I added chopped garlic, sliced black olives and a dollop of mayonnaise. Absolutely summery meal
