Nothing better in the hot days of summer than an old family favorite to cool you off! 

Fire N Ice Salad

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, sliced

5 large tomatoes cut into wedges

3/4 cup white vinegar

6 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon mustard seed

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 large cucumber, sliced

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes and onion; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, water, mustard seed and cayenne. Bring to a boil; boil for 1 minute.

Pour over tomatoes and onion; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Add cucumber; toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 8 servings.

Note: I even add a few fresh radishes.
