This seasonal dish is cheap, tasty, filling and low cal. I don't drink the broth so I don't think I consume much oil. 3 Tomatoes, 3 cucumbers, 1 onion, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of cracked pepper, 2 table spoons of sugar (TOTALLY YOUR CHOICE... Me, I say without), 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of olive oil, mix well...thats it.
Let it chill for 1-2 hours...

    I make this all the time (with no sugar). I like adding grilled corn for sweetness and a sprinkle of feta for salt. I don't add water either as the tomatoes add enough liquid.

    I like red wine vinegar, and I don't even need oil or water (1/4 cup of oil is hardly 'low calories', by the way). I don't really get why people put sugar in everything though, it's not needed at all!

    Also tastier with red onions IMO.

    I'd make mine with red wine and no more than a tablespoon of oil. A few fresh herbs are nice too.

    I make mine with no sugar, tbsp white vinegar, tbsp oil, pinch of salt, and tsp of curry powder plus a dash of garlic powder. Chilled and marinated for a few hours. I remove the tomato seeds before cubing them.
