Serves 470 mins prep0 mins cook
This Italian Cucumber and Tomato Salad may seem basic, but a pinch of sugar in the dressing, allowing it to sit at room temperature, and not salting the cucumber ahead of time are key to its deliciousness. These three simple tricks bring the flavors together and create an addictive dressing with flavorful juices.

Instructions
Whisk dressing ingredients (dried oregano, red wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, cane sugar, Kosher salt, fresh cracked black pepper) in a medium serving bowl to combine. Add the diced red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, and chopped fresh basil. Toss together. Taste and add a bit more salt if needed (the recipe suggests ¼ teaspoon more). Allow the salad to sit at room temperature for at least an hour before serving. Store any leftovers in the fridge.View original recipe
