Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the vegetables. Slice the 2 medium cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Next, slice the 4 medium tomatoes into wedges and add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
3. Slice the 1 small red onion into thin rings and add to the bowl. The onion will add a nice crunch and flavor to the salad.
4. Chop the 1/4 cup of fresh parsley and 1/4 cup of fresh basil. Add both herbs to the mixing bowl for a burst of freshness.
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. Season the dressing with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
7. Cook the bacon until crispy, then let it cool. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
8. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
9. Finally, sprinkle the chopped bacon over the top of the salad, and garnish with additional fresh parsley or basil.
10. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
