Easy Fat Burning Cucumber Salad

by

Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
  • 4 to matoes, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • pinch of raw sugar

Instructions

  • Place cucumber, tomatoes, onions and garlic into a bowl. Toss with olive oil, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, pepper, salt and sugar.
  • Let stand for a bit at room temperature or in the fridge, about 15-30 minutes before stirring and serving. As the salad sits, liquid will accumulate. You can serve the salad with a slotted spoon to avoid the extra liquid. Another option is to use the extra liquid as a dressing when serving the salad over greens or to soak up the liquid with slices of crusty bread.

Notes

  • Having fresh veggies really makes a huge difference so if possible grab the ingredients for this salad from your local produce stand, farmers market or garden.
