Ingredients for 2 servings:
250g/~2 cups sliced Cucumber
300g/~2 cups halved Cherry Tomatoes
100g/~1/2 cup thinly sliced Red Onion
600g/~4 cups diced Bell peppers
150g/~6 cups Salad leaves
1 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
Steps:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Cucumber: Rinse and slice the cucumber (250 g) into thin half-moons (~1/4-inch thick) or small chunks, depending on preference. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Cherry Tomatoes: Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes (300 g, ~15-20 medium tomatoes). Add to the mixing bowl.
Red Onion: Peel and thinly slice the red onion (100 g) into rings or half-moons for a milder flavor. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes (optional) to reduce sharpness, then drain and add to the bowl.
Bell Peppers: Rinse and dice the 4 medium bell peppers (600 g, 150 g each) into bite-sized pieces (1/2-inch dice). Add to the mixing bowl.
Salad Leaves: Rinse and pat dry the salad leaves (150 g, ~6 cups loosely packed). If leaves are large (e.g., romaine), tear into smaller pieces. Add to the mixing bowl.
Assemble the Salad :In the large mixing bowl, gently toss the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell peppers, and salad leaves to combine evenly. Ensure the ingredients are well distributed for a balanced mix of textures and colors.
Dress and Season:
Drizzle the 1 Tbsp olive oil evenly over the salad. Toss gently to coat all ingredients lightly.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning carefully, as the vegetables are naturally flavorful.
Serve:
Divide the salad between two plates or bowls.
Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the salad leaves and vegetables.
