2 large cucumbers, diced

1 red sweet bell pepper, diced

1 yellow sweet bell pepper, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing the cucumbers and sweet peppers thoroughly. Dice the cucumbers and both sweet bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, sweet peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley. If using, add the crumbled feta cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together until well coated. Be careful not to mash the vegetables.

Chill and Serve: For optimal flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
