Bright, refreshing, and full of summer vibes, this salad is a perfect addition to your dinner table tonight!

1

Start by washing and drying the tomatoes and cucumbers. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and the cucumbers into half-moon shapes. You want them to be bite-sized for easy eating.

2

Next, thinly slice the red onion so it can mingle beautifully with the other ingredients. If the taste of raw onion is too strong for you, you can soak the slices in cold water for about 5 minutes to mellow the flavor.

3

In a large salad bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion. Toss them gently to mix without breaking the tomatoes.

4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until you have a smooth dressing.

5

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again gently, making sure everything is coated evenly.

6

Chop the basil leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. Allow the salad to sit for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving. This also gives the basil time to infuse its aroma into the salad.
