Ingredients:

Serving

3 cucumbers (2 if large) sliced (this year i grew gherkins which are very crispy)
2 tomatoes, chopped in large chunks
you can use 1 cup whole cherry or pear tomatoes
1 small onion (a vidalia will be sweet but a red will give a little zing)
1/2 cup vinegar (out in the midwest everyone uses cider , but i can see red wine working as well)
1/8 cup evo
3 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp pesto
1 tsp sugar
italian seasoning, salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Take the vinegar, EVO, and sugar and create the dressing. (Note: You can use store bought Italian dressing if you are in a pinch for time)
After dressing is mixed well, add the garlic, pesto, and other seasonings EXCEPT the salt and pepper.
With the vegetables in in a good sized bowl, drizzle dressing over the vegetables. HINT: If you mix while you drizzle it is easier to coat all the vegetables.
Taste the salad (I use a cucumber to taste) and see if you want the salt and pepper. If so, add to your taste level, mixing well to ensure coverage.
For Variety: Add sliced black olives,Try using red or white pepper, or adding feta cheese.
MARINADE: Let sit in frig to marinade at least 2 hours, but best results occur with overnight marinade.
