Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the cucumbers and tomatoes thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers into rounds, chop the tomatoes into wedges or chunks, and thinly slice the red onion.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, garlic powder (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3: Combine the Salad
Place the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4: Add the Dressing
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5: Let the Flavors Blend
Allow the salad to rest for 10–15 minutes before serving so the vegetables absorb the delicious dressing.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
💡 Tips
- Add crumbled feta cheese for a creamy Mediterranean twist.
- Include sliced avocado for extra richness.
- Fresh basil or dill also makes a delicious addition.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it’s best enjoyed fresh.
