- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Directions
Step 1
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cucumber thoroughly. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
Step 2
Peel and finely slice the red onion. Soak the sliced onion in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow the flavor, and then drain.

Chop the fresh parsley and basil leaves finely.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, soaked red onion, chopped parsley, and basil.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a finely minced garlic clove until emulsified. Add sea salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Pour the vinaigrette dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring all vegetables are coated evenly.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately or let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
