It has been so warm in California lately that I have been craving a fresh cold salad. This salad does the trick and it is very light and healthy to boot. With just a few simple steps and handful of ingredients you can make a refreshing salad to eat alone or pair with almost any meal.
Ingredients
3 tomatoes chopped into large chunks
1 english cucumber peeled and chopped in equal size chunks as the tomatoes
2 cups fresh arugula chopped
1 tbs fresh oregano chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tbs olive oil
2-3 tsp sea salt to taste
1 tsp pepper
On a plate arrange arugula and cover it with tomatoes and cucumber (you can mix it or layer it as you desire). Drizzle red wine vinegar over the salad first so that it absorbs into the tomatoes and cucumbers. Then drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper. Finally top the whole salad with chopped oregano. Let the salad sit for at least 20 minutes or up to an hour in the refrigerator, so that the vinegar brings out the sugars from the salad. Then it is ready to serve.
Yields 2-4 servings
