  • Total Time: 40 minutes (including marination)
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 3 ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or basil), chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Feta cheese or olives for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Start by thinly slicing the cucumbers and red onions. Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Using the Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master will help streamline this process with ease.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and honey. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify, making the salad even more delicious. For quicker preparation, consider using the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to chill your salad rapidly.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle with fresh herbs and, if desired, crumbled Feta cheese or olives. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light main course.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Drain excess liquid before storing to keep the salad crisp.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh but remains delicious for a day or two.
  • You can customize with additional ingredients such as bell peppers, avocados, or extra herbs.
