Salad Ingredients
  • 1 English cucumber no need to peel
  • 10 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 0.5 small red onion thinly sliced, about ½ cup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt or fine sea salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, dill and/or basil optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Trim off the two ends of the cucumber and then halve it lengthwise. Then slice it into ¼-inch thick half rounds.
  2. Place the cucumber, halved tomatoes and sliced red onion in a medium bowl.
  3. To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to mix.
  5. Gently stir in the fresh herbs, if using. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for an hour or two to let the flavors meld together and then serve.

Notes

This salad is best served fresh, but allowing it to chill for a while can enhance the flavors. You can customize it with your favorite herbs.
