simple summer: tomato basil salad

During the summer, I love quick, easy and healthy meals.  When I find something I like, I eat it a lot.  This simple salad is a summer staple at our dinner table.  It is so fresh and tasty.  Even my picky little eaters eat it.  The ingredients are few and it is super quick to make.

Ingredients:
Cucumber -- peeled
Grape or cheery tomatoes -- halved
Red wine vinegar
Olive oil
Basil -- shredded
Sea salt
Pepper

Add the chopped cucumbers and tomatoes to a bowl.  Douse with olive oil and vinegar.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Top with basil.
