Salad Ingredients

  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 orange pepper
  • 3 persian cucumbers
  • ½ red onion
  • 3 tomatoes

Dressing Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Chop the peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions evenly into ⅛" dice and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, dijon mustard, minced garlic clove and olive oil to a bowl and use a whisk to mix until emulsified. Transfer to an airtight jar.
  • Add the dressing to the vegetables. Take care to add just a little at a time, then mix and taste. Raw vegetables like these are so light and contain so much water, they can get weighed down by too much dressing. Go light!
  • Enjoy as a side salad with your main meal, as a light lunch, or use as a relish alongside other dishes. Or eat as a light dinner. I do this all the time!
