This Greek-inspired salad is the essence of summer to me, with bright flavors and colors-it's a showstopper.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon plus a pinch of salt, plus more to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 quart cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
• 1 1/4 cups crumbled feta cheese (1/2 pound)
• 1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced (1 1/4 cups)
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint

Instructions

Combine the vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large serving bowl and whisk to blend. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to mix. Season with salt and pepper as necessary. Serve immediately.
