Tomato salad with cucumber and onion is a good opportunity to experiment with various vegetable oils! You can take fragrant homemade sunflower oil - here it belongs! Try calcium-rich sesame oil or take the perfect win-win option - extra virgin olive oil!
The shape and size of slicing vegetables does not matter, the main thing is that both cucumbers and tomatoes are sliced approximately the same.
Onions can be cut not into thin half-rings, but into small cubes. Onions for such a salad are best to take salad varieties or young, sweet.
Dill is preferable to parsley in this salad. Dill is more fragrant and it is more tender, soft.

Vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.

To avoid irritating the mucous membrane of the eyes when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.
