Tomato Melon Salad

Along with tomatoes and melon, this salad includes feta soaked in mint oil, radishes, and cucumbers.
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin (Optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 3/4 lb vine-ripened or plum tomatoes, cut into 1/3-inch dice (4 cups)
1 lb seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), cut into 1/3-inch dice (2 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh curly parsley (from 1 bunch)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (preferably sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla)
Whisk together oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, cumin, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, and onion and stir to combine. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.
If you don’t care for onions you can omit them as well, but they add such a wonderful flavor.
My dad makes a mixture like this one but the ingredients are below:
tomatoes
cucumbers
vandalia onions
canola oil
white vinegar
sugar
water
Dice the tomatoes,cucumbers, onions and put in a bowl.
Then in a mixing cup put about half and half of the canola oil and vinegar (equal amounts). Then throw in a pinch of sugar and add the water. ( about 1/2 of the amount of the oil or vinegar that you used). Mix well.
red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, s and p
I usually just mix olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar to taste. Some people like it a little milder, some like it a little tangier.
Another really good salad is cucumbers, sliced raw onions, and a dressing of sour cream, vinegar, salt, pepper,a nd sugar. It is SO good.
