A refreshing and vibrant salad made with cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions, dressed in a simple vinaigrette.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 3 medium tomatoes, diced or cut into wedges
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dill (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash the cucumbers and tomatoes thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers thinly and dice or cut the tomatoes into wedges. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Place all the vegetables in a large salad bowl.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and emulsified.
- Toss the salad: Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetable mixture. Add the chopped fresh herbs, if using. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Chill and serve: For best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Toss once more before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for added flavor.
- Customize the salad by adding other vegetables or ingredients if desired.
