PS Tomato Cucumber Salad
INGREDIENTS
Salad
1 English cucumber, sliced
1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
½ red onion thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer)
For the Dressing
¼ c red wine vinegar
2 T maple syrup
2 T water
1 t dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and onion and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the dressing ingredients to a separate small bowl and whisk until everything is well combined.
Pour over the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion.
You can serve immediately but I think it is best once it is chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes.
TIPS
If you do not have an English cucumber regular cucumber will work. But, I would scoop out the seeds and peel the cucumber.
In January of 2013, two weeks before his 40th birthday, Shane was topping the scales at 300 lbs., dealing with Type 2 diabetes, had a fatty liver, high blood pressure, and his cholesterol was over 400! Depressed, sick, and at the end of his rope, a friend recommended he watch the documentary Forks Over Knives. The next day he went all-in on a plant-based diet and in 3 months dropped 55 lbs., was no longer diabetic, his blood pressure was normal, and his cholesterol dropped over 200 points. To date, Shane has lost over 100 lbs. and is super passionate about helping people when it comes to cooking, eating, and health. Shane likes to tell people, "If this Mississippi-meat-cheese-and-mayonnaise-eating-boy can do it, ANYONE can!"
