#### **Instructions:**
1. **Prep the Veggies**
Wash and chop the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. If desired, soak the sliced onion in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain to soften its flavor.
2. **Mix the Salad**
In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions.
3. **Dress It Up**
Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar (or lemon juice). Season generously with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
4. **Chill or Serve**
Serve immediately for a crisp bite or let it sit for 15–30 minutes for the flavors to meld. Garnish with herbs or crumbled feta if desired.
