Cucumber Tomato Salad

Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumbers, diced
• 2 large tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small red onion, finely diced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the vegetables. Wash the cucumbers and tomatoes thoroughly. Dice the cucumbers and chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
2. Next, finely dice the red onion. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the diced onion in cold water for about 10 minutes, then drain.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, chopped tomatoes, and red onion. Toss gently to combine.
4. Add the chopped parsley and basil to the bowl. These fresh herbs will elevate the flavors of your salad.
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until the dressing is well blended.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until all ingredients are coated evenly.
7. Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled for the best taste!
