Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables and herbs thoroughly under cold water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly sized cubes. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber, if desired, and dice it into small cubes. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the mixing bowl.
Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper and dice it into small cubes. Add it to the bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and cilantro. Add both to the mixing bowl for a burst of freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the diced vegetables and herbs. Toss everything gently to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
Taste the vinagrete and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice, if needed.
Let the vinagrete sit for 10–15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve as a side dish or as a topping for grilled meats, poultry, or fish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
