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 cukes. Sprinkle in some garlic, maybe 1/2 teaspoon? Let this marinate for at least 2 hours. It keeps well in the fridge for days. Add the tomatoes at the last minute. kwvegan vegan
