1 large cucumber, sliced thinly
1 large tomato (choose the variety based on your taste), cut into thin wedges
1 cup very thinly sliced red onion
6 leaves very fresh basil
3 tablespoons balsamic balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
garlic powder
salt

Chiffonade the basil (stack the leaves flat, roll them, and then cut very thin strips from the roll).

Combine sliced cucumber, tomato wedges, and sliced onion in a medium-large bowl. Add basil chiffonade, vinegar, and olive oil. Sprinkle on roughly 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder and salt (you can use more or less, I just recommend NOT using garlic salt, so you can adjust each flavor to taste).

Toss all ingredient with a pair of spoons and let sit at least 5 minutes before serving. Should be served slightly chilled, and may keep refrigerated for up to a day.
