Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces and combine them in a large bowl.

  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar, if using, until well combined.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, ripe vegetables. You can add bell peppers for extra crunch and color. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding to the salad.
