Slice tomatoes in wedges, juice and seed them.
Slice the English cucumber horizontally, seed it and slice it.
Slice the onions.
Combine tomatoes, onions and cucumbers in a bowl. Squeeze lemon juice over the veggies. Season with a healthy pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle as much olive oil as you like.
Serve right away, allow to sit on the counter for 20 minutes up to an hour, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Before serving, toss the salad with its own juices and serve (feel free to drain some of this juice if desired.)
Seeding tomatoes and cucumbers helps making this salad less runny and more visually appealing. This is especially important if you make this salad in advance. However, I often skip this step when making it for just our family and serving it immediately.
