A refreshing and vibrant salad combining fresh vegetables with a tangy dressing, perfect for any occasion.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in a mixing bowl.
Using a mandoline slicer can help achieve uniform slices quickly.
Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl.
Remove the seeds from the tomatoes if you prefer a less watery salad.
Thinly slice the red onion and green bell pepper, then add them to the bowl.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness.
In a jar, combine olive oil, white wine vinegar, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
Shake the jar vigorously to emulsify the dressing thoroughly.
Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad in individual bowls or on a platter, and enjoy!
Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or basil for a touch of color.
