Cucumber, Tomato and Mint Salad

I probably haven't made this salad for five or six years but that's simply a product of my bad memory. An over-abundance of the mint purchased to make another recipe prodded my memory and happily so as this is just as good as I'd remembered.

This is a really simple and delicious and refreshing summer side dish. You'll need about an hour to marinate the cucumbers with salt, sugar and red wine vinegar prior to adding the tomatoes (I use cherry or grape tomatoes until the Jersey tomatoes reach their peak), mint, and EVOO.

Works equally well with basil -- and no one is likely to complain if you toss in a little feta or mozzarella.
