Rusted Garden (Gary Pilarchik) Tomato Salad Recipe

SQWIBB · August 22, 2019

Tried this recipe that Gary from the Rusted Garden Posted in his last video, he calls it Tomato Salad.

I don't like cucumbers but my parent do. Mom is always making cucumber salad. My daughter was making dinner last night and my parents were over so I decide to try this recipe.

I was able to stomach a little only because of the vinegar and oil flavor. My parents of course loved it, my niece only liked the cucumbers and everyone else did not like it, but that's no reflection on the recipe since we don't like cucumbers, well, except for my daughter but I'm sure Cucumber fans will enjoy this recipe.

But the picture looks good.

Ingredients

2 cucumbers slightly overripe
okra 3 small pods
1 red pepper small
3 medium tomatoes
2 medium onions
teaspoon minced garlic
red wine vinegar
white vinegar
salt
olive oil

In a deep bowl

Peel cukes slice and toss in a bowl
slice onion, thin but not paper thin toss in bowl
salt lightly and set aside

Using another bowl

slice okra 1/8" slices add to bowl
fine chop peppers add to bowl
slice tomatoes 1/4-3/8" thick then cut into strips add to bowl
teaspoon minced garlic add to bowl
sprinkle pepper on top

by this time 15 minutes should have passed

toss cuke, and onion mix squeezing and pressing as you mix.
Toss the other veggies in the bowl.
add a few tablespoons of each, olive oil, red wine vinegar and white vinegar, add some Parmesan cheese and mix well.
serve at room temperature topped with a bit more Parmesan cheese.

Those pictures look great. They made me wonder if my dad would have eaten that cucumber salad. Dad would not eat salad (rabbit food) but he would eat cucumbers with sourcream and chopped green onions or tomatoes the same way with or without the sourcream.
Most of the salad eaters I have known have outlived their non salad eating spouses. There may be a lesson in that.
