Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
- Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.
- Dice or slice the cucumbers.
- Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Thinly slice the red onion.
- Chop the parsley and dill.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together:
- Olive oil
- Vinegar
- Lemon juice
- Honey (if using)
- Oregano
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
Whisk until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
Place the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, parsley, and dill in a large serving bowl.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables.
Gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Chill
For the best flavor, refrigerate the salad for 15–30 minutes before serving. This allows the vegetables to absorb the dressing.
Step 5: Serve
Serve chilled as a refreshing side with:
- Grilled chicken
- Steak
- Burgers
- Fish
- Barbecue dishes
- Sandwiches
- Fresh bread
Optional Add-Ins
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Sliced avocado
- Kalamata olives
- Chickpeas
- Bell peppers
- Fresh basil or mint
- A pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir before serving, as the vegetables will release some juice while chilling.
