Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the vegetables. Slice 2 medium cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Next, substitute the tomatoes with 2 medium bell peppers, sliced into thin strips, and add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
3. Slice 1 small red onion into thin rings and add it to the bowl for a zesty flavor.
4. Chop 1/4 cup of fresh parsley and 1/4 cup of fresh basil, then sprinkle these herbs over the vegetables in the bowl.
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar until well combined.
6. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
7. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the salad, mixing gently to combine the flavors.
8. Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
9. Garnish with additional fresh parsley or basil before serving for a vibrant touch.
