Tomato Cucumber salad

We love this refreshing summer side dish, plus it is a great way to use
extra tomatoes and cucumbers from your garden.
This is a 'dump' recipe, recipe perfectionists beware!

Start with equal amounts of diced or sliced:
*Fresh tomatoes
*Fresh cucumbers
Then add:
*chopped onion
*minced garlic
*fresh or dried basil and/or dried oregano
*fresh or dried cilantro
*salt, and pepper
*fresh lime juice
(1/2 of a lime is good)
*equal amounts of olive oil and balsamic or distilled vinegar
(start with 2T of each and add additional as needed)

**Gently stir ingredients together.
Chill for 2-3 hours. Serve.

This recipe sounds delicious! We like making a cucumber/tomato salad with a sugar/vinager sauce or use bottled Italian dressing too, if in a hurry. By the way, thank you for your Christian witness.
