Tips & Tricks (5)

Salt the Cucumbers First ⏱️
Toss cucumber slices with kosher salt 15 minutes before assembly to draw out excess moisture, preventing a watery salad while concentrating their natural sweetness.
Bloom Your Oregano in Oil 🫒
Warm the dried oregano gently in olive oil for 1-2 minutes before mixing with vinegar to release its aromatic oils and deepen the Mediterranean flavor profile.
Slice Red Onions Thin & Soak 🧅
Cut onions paper-thin and soak them in ice water for 10 minutes to reduce their sharp bite while maintaining their crisp texture and vibrant color.
Dress Just Before Serving 🥗
Add the vinaigrette only 15-20 minutes before serving to maintain the salad's fresh crunch; however, it will keep perfectly in the dressing for up to 2 days if storing.
Use Halved Cherry Tomatoes 🍅
Cut tomatoes in half rather than quarters to preserve their shape and prevent excess juice from releasing, which keeps the salad from becoming soggy.
