2 pounds Tomatoes, Cut Into Chunks
1 cup Red Or White Onion, Thinly Sliced
1 cup Cucumber, Hothouse Or English Variety
4 Tablespoons Mild Flavored Vinegar, Divided
1 teaspoon Agave Nectar (You Can Use Honey Or Sugar)
1 teaspoon Sea Salt

2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1
Cut up the tomatoes and place in a colander. Salt well, and allow the tomatoes to drain the excess liquid for about 30 minutes. This process will intensify the tomato flavor.
2
Meanwhile, thinly slice the onions. Put in a non-reactive bowl. Sprinkle the onions with 1 to 2 tablespoons of your favorite mild-flavored vinegar, such as an orange/champagne vinegar. Stir in agave nectar. (You can use honey or sugar as well.)
3
Cut up hothouse (English) cucumber into chunks.
4
When tomatoes have drained for 30 minutes, combine with the cucumbers and onions in a large, non-reactive bowl. Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of vinegar and olive oil. Add fresh basil and thyme to taste. Taste and add additonal salt and pepper as needed.
5
This makes about six servings, unless you're married to my husband. Then it's only three servings.
