- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ tbsp sugar
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped

- black pepper to taste
- 1 lb tomatoes chopped
- 1½ lbs cucumbers sliced
Instructions
- Shred the green onion and submerge them in ice water. Place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Add the dressing within minutes of serving. Garnish with curly green onion.
Notes
Note 1. We curled the green onion to add a touch of elegance and visual appeal to the dish. If you would like to omit the curly green onion, you can simply chop them up and mix them in with the other ingredients.
Note 2. It is unlikely to get 100% of all the green onions curled, so pick out the best ones for garnish, and set aside the rest for future cooking.
