From Paula Deen ... a great way to use cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions from the garden....

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 Vidalia onion, very thinly sliced

In a large serving bowl, toss together the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, onion, parsley, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Let the salad stand for 10 minutes before serving.

I make a salad very much like the one you describe, but I add a little crumbled feta cheese. Yum!

Our tomatoes in Powhatan have just started coming in! Enjoy the season . . .
