In a large bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar is dissolved. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Add the sliced cucumbers to the vinegar mixture and gently toss to coat. Allow the cucumbers to marinate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally, to infuse them with flavor. (60 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a separate bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, and fresh mint. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Just before serving, gently toss the marinated cucumbers with the tomato mixture. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice.
If you don't have red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be substituted.
This salad is best served fresh, but it can be made a few hours ahead of time. If making ahead, hold off on adding the olive oil and seasoning until just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
Consider grilling the tomatoes and cucumbers for a smoky flavor.
