I love cucumber and tomato salads. Serve as a filling or accompaniment to pita sandwiches. Good side dish for a Greek buffet.

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Alternate tomatoes and cucumber slices on a serving platter. Arrange onion rings over the top. Sprinkle with oil, salt and pepper. Cover and let stand at room temperature about 2 hours.

Dollop with yogurt just before serving.
