re: BJs Summer Recipes - Cucumber, Tomato and Onion salad |

I threw this together for lunch today, and enjoyed it alongside a sandwich of turkey, pickles and Dijon mustard on whole wheat. Dessert was an apple. Definitely a low fat, high fiber-packed meal!
Anyway, this this super-quick, super-simple salad is a GREAT way to use up those bumper crops of summer produce which we are all pretty familiar with! I am sure there are millions of variations on it. But I like mine so far :)
INGREDIENTS: * 1/2 cucumber, seeded and chopped coarsely (mine were 1/2 in cubes) * 1/2 medium tomato, seeded and diced * 1/2 small onion, chopped into small chunks * 2 TB Italian dressing (I like Kraft FREE Italian) -OR- Equal parts extra-virgin olive oil and balasamic, apple cider or other favorite vinegar
DIRECTIONS: (can't get ANY simpler than this!) Combine all veggies in a bowl, douse with dressing, and enjoy! I also shook on a liberal amount of fresh ground black pepper. YUM!
TIP: Might also be better if left in the fridge for a bit (or overnight), after you add the dressing, to allow flavors to marinate the veggies.
