Prep Time:15 minutes
Total Time:15 minutes

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small whisk or fork
  • Cutting board and knife

Ingredients

Salad

  • 2 large cucumbers peeled and sliced, about 10-12 ounces each
  • 4 medium tomatoes or 1 pound cherry tomatoes diced or halved
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced

Dressing

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar optional
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prep veggies. In a large bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
  • Make dressing. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey (if using), chopped herbs, salt, and pepper until well blended. This will take a minute or two to blend the oil and vinegar well.
  • Combine. Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  • Chill (optional). For the best flavor, refrigerate the salad for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Pair this with grilled meat, sandwiches, or have as a light meal on its own.
