There are plenty of ways to customize this salad. You can make it half-tomato and half-cucumber, all cucumber or tomato, or any proportion you like, depending on what you have on hand. Use any type of vinegar, but I recommend the ones listed below. Finally, choose whatever herb best complements the dinner, though parsley goes well with almost anything you serve.
Yields 4 servings.
