- 0.5 small red onion
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
Wash and dry all the vegetables thoroughly.
Cut the tomatoes into large, chunky bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon and cut the cucumber into thick half-moons. Add these to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Serve the salad immediately or let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
