Good served as a side dish with just about anything, but I think especially with fish. You can substitute cherry tomatoes in lieu of regular tomatoes. If you do, it is not necessary to peel them; just cut them in half and add them to the mix.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Fresh summer tomatoes are such a treat and this is a delicious salad to enjoy when they're in season. Sliced tomatoes, cucumber, and onion are combined and coated in a warm dressing that lightly pickles them. These are tangy, peppery, and refreshing. Enjoy on their own as a delicious summer side dish or serve over salad greens.
