Main Ingredients

Dressing

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion thoroughly under running water.

  2. 2

    Slice the Cucumbers

    Cut the cucumbers into thin slices. You can peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds crunch.

  3. 3

    Chop the Red Onion

    Peel and slice the red onion thinly. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes before using.

  4. 4

    Halve the Cherry Tomatoes

    Cut the cherry tomatoes in half to expose their juicy interior.

Making the Dressing

  1. 5

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Mix Vegetables

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, chopped red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.

  2. 7

    Add the Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

  3. 8

    Chill and Serve

    Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Serve chilled.
