Summer salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and onions

A good vegetable salad is a must for a good barbecue. It is useless to argue with this statement, especially since it is true. For our gatherings around the grill, I often prepare a very simple salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Before serving, the salad needs to stand for a while so that the vegetables are properly marinated. That's why I prepare it in advance. The salad is always popular.

INGREDIENTS

vinegar (6%) 1/2 glass
Vegetable oil 1/4 glass
sugar 1/4 glass
salt 2 tsp

TIP

A lot of juice remains from the salad. You shouldn't throw it away. Try dipping fried pieces of meat into it. It's very tasty, I tell you honestly.

INSTRUCTIONS
