Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cucumber and cherry tomatoes thoroughly under cold water.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the mixing bowl with the cucumber.
Thinly slice the red onion and separate the rings before adding them to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the salad bowl.
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
If desired, crumble feta cheese over the top of the salad for an extra burst of creaminess.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
