Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

This recipe is designed for you to tweak the way you like it. If you like more tomatoes in your salad, go for it! If you like a cucumber/onion heavy salad, that works well, too. The trick is to taste it as you make it so you can adjust it to your liking.

Ingredients:

• Tomatoes
• Cucumbers
• Scallions (or shallots, or white onions)
• One clove of garlic minced fine
• Your favorite vinegar & oil dressing
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cut the tomatoes, cucumbers and scallions and combine them together in a bowl. Add the minced garlic and dressing and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This salad intensifies in flavor the longer it sits, so if you want those tomatoes to soak up the flavors of your dressing, let it sit for an hour before serving.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
