Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 2 medium tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 0.25 cup fresh basil
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, as per preference.
Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized wedges, ensuring to remove excess seeds if they have too much moisture.
Thinly slice the red onion and soak in cold water for a few minutes to lessen its pungency, then drain.
Seed and slice the bell pepper into thin strips.
Chop the cilantro and fresh basil coarsely and set aside.
In a food processor, combine walnuts, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and garlic. Pulse until a chunky paste forms, then season with salt and black pepper.
Combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and basil in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the walnut dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld, then serve fresh.
