This
is another recipe from Bill Hilbrich from Saint
Cloud, Minnesota. Bill says that if you have any questions

"At
least here in Minnesota, tomatoes that are grown inside
in hot houses, or by hydroponics, are often lacking
in the intense flavor of garden tomatoes. This salad
exploits those hidden flavors that are only soluble
in fat or alcohol. However, since the salt will start
to leach the water from the vegetables, and dilute the
dressing, this salad should be eaten within the hour".
Ingredients
1
Cup Sliced Tomatoes
1 Cup Peeled and Sliced Cucumber
1/3 Cup Sliced Onion.
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Gin OR Vodka
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Mustard
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Method
- Combine
the liquids and spices in a glass or plastic container
with a tight fitting lid.
- Beat
the mixture with a fork until it starts to thicken.
- Add
the vegetables, put on the lid, and shake several
times.
- Refrigerate
for at least 20 minutes but no more than one hour
.
