Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_sugar'], recipe: thin-slice the cucumbers and onions and put them in a container. rip or chop the basil and toss it in. pour in vinegar and water. i use less vinegar than water, but you want the vinegar a little strong so it will get into the cucumber. sprinkle in some garlic, maybe 1/2 teaspoon? let this marinate for at least 2 hours. it keeps well in the refrigerator for days. add the tomatoes at the last minute.
