Mediterranean Diet Friendly Cucumber Tomato Onion Salad

Crisp English cucumbers, juicy tomato chunks, and thin ribbons of red onion come together in this bright, no-cook salad that's ready in minutes. The dressing is where it really shines: extra-virgin olive oil, tangy red wine vinegar, and dried oregano whisked into a simple vinaigrette that coats every piece and pulls out the vegetables' natural juices as it sits. A short rest at room temperature lets the flavors meld and the cucumbers soften just slightly, so every bite is cool, crunchy, and well-seasoned. Fresh parsley scattered on top adds a final herbal lift right before serving. This is exactly the kind of simple, produce-forward, olive oil-dressed dish that fits naturally into a Mediterranean way of eating, and it's a great side to keep on repeat all summer long.
