Warning

Chopped larger tomatoes will also work for this recipe.
We prefer mini cucumbers, but English or regular cucumbers will work, too.
The balsamic vinegar offers a bit of sweetness to the salad. If you use a different type of vinegar, you may need to whisk it with a few teaspoons of honey or sugar before adding it to the salad.
