Description
A refreshing salad combining crispy cucumbers, sweet tomatoes, and sharp red onion, tossed in a tangy dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cucumbers, diced
- 2 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small red onion, finely sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by washing and chopping the cucumbers and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the red onion as thinly as possible; soaking them in cold water for a few minutes can help reduce their sharpness.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion in a large salad bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the veggies, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
- Allow the salad to sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs like basil or parsley.
