Italian Tomato Cucumber Salad

Made as written and this was good. A splash of red wine vinegar would bump this form 4 stars to 5. I used vine ripened grape tomatoes because that is what I had. Great recipe for whatever tomatoes you have in your garden but just needs a hit of vinegar. Dill or basil wold work good for this too,

this is a light fresh delicious salad. That said here are my modifications. I used yellow/pink blush cherry tomatoes, I added a tablespoon of chopped fresh red and green basil to the oregano, and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar to the olive oil. I used kirby cukes, as they are more firm than regular and I used 1/3 of a white onion cut in 1inch slivers.

Nice simple salad. I've been making this and a similar Greek one all summer. I like it OK as is, but agree with others that it needs some vinegar. I added plain white vinegar, and that ups it to a 5. I've now tweaked mine to the perfect way we like it-- a whole English cucumber (or 2 regular cukes), 2 T zesty Italian dressing, 1 T olive oil, a few pinches of Italian seasoning and a good tablespoon or so of vinegar. I add a fresh banana pepper too when I have one.
