Refreshing Cucumber and Tomato Salad: A Crisp and Healthy Summer Delight

Prepare the vegetables: Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. If using larger tomatoes, chop them into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.
Toss the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and fresh basil (if using).
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey (if using), salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Combine and serve: Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until well coated. Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve and enjoy: This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy as a side dish or light main course!
