Tomato And Onion Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tomatoes, firm and cubed
1 medium onion, sweet is better, chopped
1 teaspoon basil
salt and pepper
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1 small pickling cucumber (optional)
crushed hot pepper, to taste (optional)

Preparation

Cube Tomatoe and Dice Onion.
Add spices, to taste, I normally add about 1 teaspoons of basil, salt and pepper.
Pour Italian Dressing over all.
Mix.
Let set either in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or over night, if desire.
You may also leave it at room temp for 2 hours.
Cooking time is setting time.
Note added: 6/24/06 I recently made this using fresh chives and think it was even better than with basil. I also think that about any spice of your liking would be good in this recipe.
