Directions

Step 1

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

Slice the tomatoes into bite-sized wedges and place them in a large bowl.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds if preferred, and slice the cucumber into thin half-moons. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add it to the bowl along with the vegetables.

Step 5

Roughly chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad.

Step 6

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, kosher salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the tomato and cucumber mixture. Gently toss everything together to coat the vegetables with the dressing evenly.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to preference.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for an added layer of flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for a cooler salad.
