Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the slices to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel the cucumber, cut it lengthwise in half, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Add the cucumber to the bowl.
Chop the basil and parsley finely. Add them to the salad bowl for a fresh herbal touch.
To prepare the vinaigrette, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
Pour the herb vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour to allow flavors to blend further before serving.
