Ingredients

For The Salad:

  • 1 English cucumber – sliced into rounds, then quartered
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes – sliced in half
  • ½ cup red onion – sliced into thin strips
  • 2 Tbsp chopped parsley

For The Dressing:

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar – or honey
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop the vegetables. Slice the cucumber into rounds, then quarter each piece. Cut the grape tomatoes in half, and thinly slice the red onion. Chop the parsley.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar or honey, dried basil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Combine Salad Ingredients: Add the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the vegetables.

  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the salad with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Stir again just before serving and enjoy!

Notes

  • For even more flavor, let the salad sit overnight in the fridge.
  • Swap red wine vinegar with white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar if needed.
  • Add feta cheese, chickpeas, or avocado for extra protein or creaminess.
  • English cucumber is preferred for fewer seeds, but regular cucumbers work too.
  • This salad is best served chilled and within a day for maximum freshness.
