- 4 medium-size firm tomatoes, seeded and roughly chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 2 cucumbers-peeled, cut lengthwise, seeded, and chopped
- 5 tablespoons cider vinegar
- Salt and freshly milled black pepper
- Place the vegetables on a large chopping board. Roughly chop the vegetables. Sprinkle with 2½ tablespoons of the vinegar and lightly season to taste with salt and pepper.
