Cucumber Tomato Salad

It is hot. And humid. And I don't want anything heavy to eat. So I had bought some cucumbers and tomatoes at the farmers market and wanted to do something with them. I decided to make a salad with them and found a pretty basic recipe (basically I needed proportions) for this salad. The one I saw had cumin in it, but I didn't want the spicy flavor. This is a cool side dish when you don't want a real salad or something heavy.

1 cucumber chopped
2 tomatoes chopped
1 small white onion chopped (or just half of one - depending how much you like onion)
2 T extra virgin olive oil
1 T white vinegar
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 t parsley (I didn't have fresh, I used dried and it was fine)
1 t cilantro (can be omitted)
salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything well and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. You can also serve with fresh mozzarella.
