A Perfectly Dressed Cucumber and Tomato Salad

1. Peel and slice cucumbers. Put them in a bowl and cover them with water. Add 2 tablespoons salt and allow to sit at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours.

2. Drain the water off of the cucumbers and add tomatoes and onions.

3. Mix 8 ounces of Italian dressing with balsamic vinegar and sugar. Pour this over the vegetables. Add additional dressing to taste.

4. Refrigerate until cool, at least 2 hours. Store in airtight container up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

Note: Salting the cucumbers can be omitted, but it does take the bitterness from the cucumbers and makes them more easier to digest.
