Directions: |
Directions:Core the tomatoes and cut lengthwise into 6 to 8 wedges. Cut each wedge in half crosswise. Place tomatoes in a big bowl and wake them up with a big pinch of salt, pepper, and sugar. Cut the ends off the cucumbers and use a vegetable peeler to make long strip in the skin. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Add to the tomatoes. Peel the onion and cut lengthwise into slivers. Dump the onions in with the tomatoes and cucumbers and give everything a good tossing.
Clean and dry the basil leaves. Stack them on top of one another and roll lengthwise into a tight cigar. Cut crosswise into thin strips and stir into the salad.
Throw together a batch of dressing. Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour over the tomatoes and cucumbers.
Marinate the salad at room temperature for several hours. Serve when your're ready, and refrigerate the leftovers -- if there are any. |
