My Big Fat Greek Tomato Salad

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

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.
