Cucumber, Onion, and Tomato Salad

This simple, refreshing combo will never go out of style.  Soaking the sliced red onion in cold water for a few minutes removes some of its pungent bite while keeping it crisp.

Bulk up the salad for tomorrow’s lunch by adding chickpeas and arugula.

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups English cucumber, seeded and sliced

2 tablespoons vinegar

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
