Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, as per preference.
Step 2
Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized wedges, ensuring to remove excess seeds if they have too much moisture.

Seed and slice the bell pepper into thin strips.
Step 5
Chop the cilantro and fresh basil coarsely and set aside.
Step 6
In a food processor, combine walnuts, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and garlic. Pulse until a chunky paste forms, then season with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and basil in a large mixing bowl.
Step 8
Pour the walnut dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Step 9
Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld, then serve fresh.
