Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cherry or Roma tomatoes, halved or sliced

2 cups cucumber, sliced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

1/4 cup apple cider or red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Wash and prepare all vegetables: slice cucumbers and tomatoes, and thinly slice red onion.

2. Whisk vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, oregano, and minced garlic in a small bowl.

3. In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions.

4. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.

5. Stir in chopped parsley and mix gently.

6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

7. Toss again before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

For best flavor, use English or Persian cucumbers and fresh, firm tomatoes.

Red onion can be soaked in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce sharpness.

Letting the salad sit for at least 30 minutes enhances the marinated taste.
