CucumberSalad

Cucumber and Tomato Salad
2 medium-size cucumbers
3 ripe tomatoes, 3/4 pound
½ cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

[I ended up doubling cumin and dill and adding extra vinegar]

Preparation

Peel the cucumbers and split them in half. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Slice the cucumbers crosswise. There should be about 3 cups.
Core the tomatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. There should be about 3 cups.
Put the onion, dill, vinegar, oil, cumin, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Beat briskly with a wire whisk. Add the cucumbers and tomatoes. Toss well and serve.
