When you want something fresh but prefer to keep things simple, this garden salad is the perfect choice. It uses crisp vegetables and a light dressing to create a meal that feels light and satisfying at the same time.

My favorite trick for this dish is to use the freshest cucumbers and tomatoes you can find. If you have extra time, letting the vegetables sit in the dressing for ten minutes before serving really helps all those delicious flavors come together.

Ingredients

2 large cucumbers, sliced
3 ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Place the sliced cucumbers, chopped tomatoes, red onion, and bell pepper into a large mixing bowl.
2
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3
Pour the dressing over your vegetables and toss everything gently to coat.
4
Serve immediately or let it sit in the fridge for a few minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. You can add feta cheese or olives to make this a bit heartier for a light lunch. Serve this alongside grilled chicken or crusty bread for a complete meal.
