Marinated Reds and Cucumbers

Easy salad goes perfectly with that New York Strip steak! At least that’s the way I had it years ago. It’s amazingly good and the prep is so quick and easy. If you’re into onions, cucumbers and tomatoes this is the salad for you.

Recipe

1 Large flat red onion-flat is sweeter-sliced thin
1 Large tomato-sliced
1 Large cucumber-peeled & sliced

These three ingredients do not have exact measurements. Use a dish large enough to layer these ingredients. When marinade is added it should just cover the ingredients.

Marinade:

1/2 Cup dry red wine
1/4 Cup white vinegar
3/4 Cup olive oil or your favorite salad oil
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Teaspoon salt-adjust as needed
1/2 Teaspoon dry mustard
1 Clove garlic crushed
Pepper-per taste-optional

Mix marinade and pour over layered ingredients to just cover. Seal tightly. Refrigerate for two hours for better flavor.

That’s it! Enjoy!
