*Ingredients you will need:
°4 medium sized tomatoes.
°2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced.
°1 small red onion - thinly sliced.
°1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
°1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into small pieces.
°2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
°1 tsp red wine vinegar.
°1 teaspoon of honey (for a touch of sweetness).
°Salt and pepper to taste.
*directions :
the first step
Combine diced tomatoes, cucumber slices and red onion slices in a large bowl.
The second stage
Add some chopped parsley and a few torn basil leaves. These vibrant herbs will brighten up your salad with their refreshing scent and vibrant color.
The third step
Prepare the dressing by combining the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey (if using), salt and pepper in a separate small bowl and whisking until smooth. This will be the dressing.
The fourth step
Mix the tomatoes, cucumbers and onions with the sauce. Gently toss the salad so that all the ingredients are coated in the dressing. If you want the vegetables to hold their shape, be careful not to mix them too much.
Fifth step
Wait about 10 to 15 minutes before serving the salad for the flavors to blend. The vegetable's natural juices will begin to flow during this resting period, as the salad is lightly seasoned.
Step Six
Once the salad has rested, toss it quickly to redistribute the ingredients and bring out the flavors. Check the dressings and make any necessary changes. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding salt, pepper or vinegar.
Step seven
Prepare a serving plate or individual plates for the tomato, cucumber and onion salad. Sprinkle with a few basil leaves for aesthetic value.
Step Eight
You can serve the salad at room temperature or refrigerate it for a few minutes. The salad is most refreshing when served at room temperature.
Enjoy !
