- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cherry tomatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel, then cut them in half and place them in a large serving bowl.
Step 2
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into half-moon shapes. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Step 3
Wash and dry the cucumber. Peel it if desired, then slice it into thin rounds. Add the cucumber slices to the tomato and onion mixture.
Step 4
Chop the fresh basil leaves into thin strips. Finely chop the parsley and oregano. Combine all the chopped herbs in a small mixing bowl.
Step 5
Peel the garlic clove and mince it finely. Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the herbs.
Step 6
Pour the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar into the herb mixture. Add salt and black pepper. Whisk everything together until a uniform vinaigrette is formed.
Step 7
Drizzle the herb vinaigrette over the salad in the serving bowl. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and coat them with the vinaigrette.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
