Refreshing Mediterranean Veggie Salad

Ingredients

- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 1 English cucumber, peeled and sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by dicing the tomatoes into medium-sized pieces. Peel the English cucumber, then slice it into thin rounds. Chop both the red and yellow bell peppers into small, bite-sized pieces. Place all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, sherry vinegar, sugar, and kosher salt. Whisk together until the sugar and salt have dissolved, creating a smooth dressing.

3. Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetables in the mixing bowl. Gently toss the ingredients together, ensuring that the dressing evenly coats all the vegetables.

4. Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavor, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving. This allows the vegetables to absorb the dressing more thoroughly.

5. Serve: Remove the salad from the refrigerator, give it a final toss, and transfer it to a serving dish. Enjoy as a light, refreshing lunch or as a side dish with your favorite main course.
