Salad Ingredients

  • 2 medium cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice cucumbers and onions, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
