1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the cucumber and tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds. Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
2
Prepare the Goat Cheese
Crumble the goat cheese into small pieces with your hands or a fork. This will help it to mix evenly into the salad.
3
Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
4
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and crumbled goat cheese. Tear the basil leaves and add them to the bowl.
5
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Gently toss to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the dressing coats everything evenly.
6
Serve
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Optionally, garnish with extra basil leaves. Serve immediately.
