Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped cucumbers, halved tomatoes, sliced onion, dill, and parsley.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to combine and coat evenly.
Cover and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve. Serve chilled for best flavor.

Notes

For a Mediterranean twist, substitute dill with basil.

Add crumbled feta or avocado for a creamier texture.

Toss in red wine vinegar or lemon juice for extra tang.

Make it a main dish by adding cooked quinoa, chickpeas, or protein like grilled chicken or tuna.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Do not freeze.
