Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Champagne Vinegar Vinaigrette

We enjoyed grilled hamburgers tonight and I realized I had a half an English cucumber, a handful of grape tomatoes, and a few slices of red onion. Instead of a pile of fries or onion rings as our side dish, in minutes I had mixed up a very simple, delicious salad.

1 cup English cucumber slices, quartered

1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced lengthwise

1/4 cup finely chopped red onions

1 clove garlic, minced

2 T. Champagne vinegar

2 T. olive oil

a few grinds of black pepper

1/4 t. salt

Place vegetables in a medium bowl.  In a small bowl, whisk together the Champagne vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Pour vinaigrette over vegetables and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
