1 lb ripe tomatoes (about 3 medium), cut into ¾-inch chunks
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of the salt. Toss to coat and let stand for 10 minutes — the cucumbers will release some liquid.
2
While the cucumbers rest, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, remaining 1/4 tsp salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
