- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Wash the cucumbers, tomatoes, and parsley thoroughly under cold running water.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference, and place them in a large salad bowl.
Cut the tomatoes into wedges or bite-size pieces and add them to the cucumbers in the bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it into thin rings. Add the onion slices to the salad bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
