I mince the onion and fresh dill and always use olive oil. I've made this with cider vinegar, rice vinegar, and white balsamic vinegar. It's all good. I think it tastes much better when it sits over night, one hour isn't enough to me. Can't count how many times I made this recipe.

A perfect side dish on this VERY HOT evening. Refreshing and fast. We have a ton of cucumbers in the garden and this recipe will be used again. I left out the red onion (personal taste) and added a small shallot. Thanks for sharing!

My hubby said he could eat an entire bowl by himself. I did a few substitutions based on what I had in the house but it was still delish. I used red wine vinegar instead of cider vinegar; olive oil instead of vegetable oil; shallots instead of onion, and dried basil instead of dill. Great refreshing salad for summer meals.

This was really just average. I have had better tomato/cucumber salads before.

Very refreshing and very good! I used a little more sugar, a little more dill and olive oil instead of veg. oil. You can easily adjust this vinaigrette to your tastes. I used one cucumber that I sliced very thin and next time I'd use an English cucumber. I used half the amount of red onion and sliced that thin as well. I let it set for an hour before serving.

This is good but nothing extraordinary. I used half balsamic and half red wine vinegar, and olive oil instead of vegetable. Its a refreshing low calorie healthy snack or side dish that I will make again.

This is my favorite salad. I make it almost every day in the summer. However,I never use sugar for it and I always add feta cheese on top when serving. For best results use sweet onion and seedless cucumbers. Be careful with the amount of vinegar you use; general rule is that a salad with tomatoes does not need a lot of vinegar. If you want quick, light meal for the summer add chopped ham, cubed cheese(your choice) mushrooms from a jar, and feta of course. Serve with a loaf of bread and voila-you have a healthy lunch, or dinner.

This is great. I have made it with cider vinegar and red wine vinegar, and I like the red wine vinegar much better because it has a bit more bite to it. I use olive oil instead of vegetable, and agree with marinating the cucumber and onion overnight before adding tomato. But any leftovers are fine in the fridge and seem to get better for a few days.

this recipe needs to be altered to read, chill overnight. i tried it after 2-3 hours, still bitter. yet, the next day delish... and still delish the day after. i primarily make this for myself to snack on, or be a small lunch. with a one and a half year old to run around after, it's tasty and fast.
