Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium cucumber
- 60 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 30 milliliters red wine vinegar
- 10 grams fresh basil leaves
- 10 grams fresh parsley
- 5 grams fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove garlic
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cool running water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Slice each tomato in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel the red onion, and slice it thinly. Add the slices to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Step 3
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Using a peeler, optionally peel the skin for a more tender texture, then slice the cucumber into half-moon shapes. Add to the bowl.
Step 4
Prepare the herb vinaigrette by finely chopping the basil, parsley, and oregano leaves. Place the chopped herbs in a small bowl.
Step 5
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the bowl with the herbs.
Step 6
To the herb mixture, add the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the herb vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl.
Step 8
Toss the salad gently to ensure the tomatoes, onions, and cucumber are well coated with the vinaigrette.
Step 9
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 10
Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate for a short period to serve it chilled.
