Ingredients For Salad:
4 to 6 cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1 white or red onion, thinly sliced
1 to 2 tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
1 Tbs salt (don't worry, you're going to rinse it all off)
Ingredients For Dressing:
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs honey
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (like McCormick perfect pinch)
1/2 tsp salt
2 dashes of cayenne pepper
Directions:
In a large bowl, toss your sliced cucumbers with 1 Tbs salt. (This draws all the water out of the cucumbers so they stay nice and crisp in the salad.) Set bowl of cucumbers in fridge for about half an hour to keep them chilled while they sweat out their water. Meanwhile, place all ingredients for dressing in a small bowl and whisk to combine; set aside. Over your sink, place cucumbers in a large strainer and rinse with cold water to remove the salt. Drain well and add to a large salad bowl along with your sliced onions. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Gently fold in the tomato wedges. Cover and chill for about an hour before serving.
