Ingredients
3 medium cucumbers, sliced
4 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges or chunks
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
For the Dressing
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation Steps
Place the sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and basil in a large serving bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Let the salad rest for 10–15 minutes before serving so the vegetables can absorb the flavors.
Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, or vinegar as desired, then serve fresh.
Serving Tip
For the freshest texture, chill the salad briefly before serving and add crumbled feta cheese if you want an extra savory finish
