Marinated Cucumber Tomato Salad

Makes 6-8 servings

2 cucumbers, peeled & sliced into rounds
4 tomatoes, sliced into rounds
1/3 cup thinly sliced onion
1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar
Salt and pepper
1 Tbsp slivered fresh basil strips
1 Tbsp chopped parsley

Arrange cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions in a shallow serving dish. Mix oil, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl and pour over vegetables. Season well with salt and pepper. Cover and let marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Sprinkle with herbs just before serving.

(The leftover marinade makes a good dressing for salad greens).
