Millie's Tomato-Cucumber Salad

~ 1c white vinegar

~ 1c white sugar

~ 1/4c light vegetable oil

~ salt and pepper

1 Vidalia onion

2 med. red tomatoes

5 pickling cucumbers

3 Genovese basil leaves

My mother-in-law, Millie, used to make this regularly and I loved it!  I often make a variation, but almost never exactly follow her dressing recipe since it's so high in sugar.

Once in a while however. . .Such as a Family Dinner for my Daughter's Birthday. . .I'll make an exception.  😊

Combine the dressing ingredients ~ in a pint mason jar and shake well.  Partially peel the cucumbers, thin-slice the onion, tomatoes and cucumbers into a bowl, add basil, sliced very thin, (optional).  Pour dressing over the salad, toss several times during the first hour and refrigerate until time to serve. 😋
