Step-by-Step Method

5-step method
01

Prep the vegetables

Slice the cucumbers thinly. Slice the red onion. Dice the tomatoes. Add everything to a large bowl.

02

Add the basil

Roughly chop the basil and toss it in. Leaving a few small leaves whole is fine, too.

03

Mix the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and water. Stir in the garlic powder and red pepper flakes.

04

Toss the salad

Pour the dressing over the salad. If you’re using currants, add them now. Gently toss until evenly coated.

05

Rest briefly and serve

Let it sit for 5–10 minutes if you can, so the onion softens a bit. Serve right away.
