  • 1 lb (450g) Persian cucumbers, quartered and sliced
  • 1 pint (250g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup (50g) red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup (15g) fresh parsley, chopped

  1. Slice the Persian cucumbers into bite-sized rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly shave the red onion and place all vegetables into the large mixing bowl.
  2. Combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small mason jar. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the mixture looks cloudy and cohesive.
