Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 large cucumber
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Rinse the tomatoes and cucumber thoroughly under cool water.
Cut the tomatoes into wedges or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference, and transfer them to a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, though the skin can be left on for added crunch and nutrition. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons and add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. For a milder flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry before adding to the salad bowl.
Chop the fresh basil and parsley leaves finely and set aside for the vinaigrette.
To make the herb vinaigrette, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Add the chopped basil and parsley to the vinaigrette and mix gently.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
Toss everything together gently to ensure the salad is evenly coated with the vinaigrette.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully together.
Serve the salad fresh as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
