Bright & Zesty Mediterranean-Inspired Cucumber Salad

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Finely dice the red onion and place it in a small bowl. Cover with cold water and let sit for 10 minutes to mellow its flavor. Drain well and pat dry.
2. 2

   While the onion soaks, finely dice the cucumbers and tomatoes. If using cherry or grape tomatoes, halve them. Finely chop the fresh cilantro. Combine all prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
3. 3

   In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. 4

   Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables in the large bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
5. 5

   For best flavor, cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Toss again just before serving.
