## 🥄 How to Make It:

### Step 1: Prep the Veggies

Wash and slice the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion. For extra crisp cucumbers, you can peel them if preferred and soak them briefly in ice water.

### Step 2: Make the Marinade

In a small bowl or jar, mix vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar dissolves completely.

### Step 3: Combine and Toss

Place the vegetables in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the top and toss gently to coat everything evenly.

### Step 4: Chill and Marinate

Cover and refrigerate for **at least 2 hours**, but ideally overnight. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it becomes.

### Step 5: Serve Cold

Before serving, give it a gentle stir. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy as a side dish, on top of grilled meats, or even as a refreshing midday snack.
