• 1–2 tbsp red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)

• 1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)

1. Combine cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, and herbs (if using) in a large bowl.

2. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, pepper, and garlic (if using).

3. Pour dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat.

4. Let sit 10 minutes (optional) for the flavors to meld.
