This refreshing salad combines crisp vegetables with a tangy dressing, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Chop the ripe tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Use a serrated knife for easier slicing of tomatoes.
Slice the crisp cucumber and green bell pepper into thin rounds.
Keep the slices uniform for better presentation.
Dice the red onion finely and add it to the bowl.
Soak the diced onion in cold water for a milder taste.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, and granulated sugar substitute.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
Ensure all vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and chill for 10 minutes before serving.
Chilling enhances the flavors and makes the salad more refreshing.
