To make the perfect cucumber tomato salad, choose firm cucumbers with smooth, unblemished skins for a fresh taste. Any type of tomato works, but go for the ripest and most flavorful ones you can find. You can use yellow, white, red, or sweet onions, each adding its own unique flavor profile to the salad. While the recipe calls for distilled white vinegar and vegetable oil, feel free to use apple cider vinegar or olive oil according to your personal preference.
When stored properly in the refrigerator, cucumber tomato salad stays fresh for 3-5 days. Although the cucumbers may lose some crispness over time, the onions and tomatoes continue to absorb the sweet and tangy dressing flavors, ensuring that every bite is as delicious as the first.
