Crisp Tomato Cucumber Onion Salad (Printable View)

A refreshing crunchy salad with ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tangy red onions tossed in light vinaigrette.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 3 medium ripe tomatoes, diced

02 - 1 large cucumber, sliced into half-moons

03 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

04 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

05 - 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

06 - 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

07 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

08 - ½ teaspoon sea salt

09 - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

01 - Combine the diced tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion in a large bowl

02 - Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until fully emulsified

03 - Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly

04 - Sprinkle chopped parsley over the salad and toss once more to distribute

05 - Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to chill before serving

01 -

The way the vegetables soak up that vinaigrette while they chill makes each bite better than the last
This salad comes together in fifteen minutes but tastes like you put actual thought into dinner

02 -

Let the salad sit for at least ten minutes before serving so the flavors can marry and the vegetables can release some of their juices
This salad needs to be eaten the same day because cucumbers and tomatoes get sad and watery after too long in the fridge

03 -

Make the dressing in a small jar and shake it vigorously instead of whisking if you want a foolproof emulsion
Use a serrated knife to slice the tomatoes so you do not accidentally crush all the juice out onto the cutting board
