🛒 Ingredients
4–5 ripe tomatoes (cherry, Roma, or vine tomatoes), chopped
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
1 small cucumber, diced (optional but delicious)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (or red wine vinegar)
1 tsp honey (optional, balances acidity)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped
Optional: ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
👩🍳 Instructions
Prep the vegetables
Chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Thinly slice the red onion. Dice cucumber if using.
Make the dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
Combine
Add tomatoes, onion, cucumber, and herbs to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and gently toss.
Let it marinate
Allow the salad to sit for 10–15 minutes so the flavors blend (this is the “magic” part!).
Finish & serve
Sprinkle feta on top if desired. Serve fresh with crusty bread or grilled chicken.
✨ Tips for Extra Flavor
Use room temperature tomatoes for best taste.
Add a pinch of dried oregano for Mediterranean vibes.
Drizzle balsamic glaze for a sweeter twist.
Add avocado for a creamy version.
