Tomato Cucumber Salad


I found this recipe and tried it. I thought it was good and would be a good summer dish when all you that grow gardens have a lot of cucumbers and tomatoes. I liked it better right after I mixed it up. If you let it sit it gets soggy.
Ingredients:
4 roma or vine ripe tomatoes
1 medium cucumber
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp sugar
2 tsp chopped fresh basil
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation:Slice tomatoes and cucumber thinly and place in a medium bowl. Combine vinegar, oil and sugar. Drizzle over sliced tomatoes and cucumber. Toss, then sprinkle with chopped basil. Refrigerate or serve at room temperature.
