// cucumber & tomato salad //

I needed a side for my honey-mustard chicken wings. Tweaked some online recipes that I've found to use what I had at home already. Simple and perfect for the hot weather outside. Bring it to a cook-out, dinner party, etc. It's pretty quick and cheap to make.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cucumber, sliced and seeded (I used 4 smaller Persian cucumbers. they're just crispier and better)

1/2 onion, yellow sweet, sliced thin

3/4 carton of grape tomatoes (halved) 

2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh chopped

6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Chill for 30 minutes in the fridge if you have time.
