Start by washing your cucumbers and tomatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces, and cut the tomatoes into quarters or wedges.

Place all the prepared vegetables in a large serving bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red or white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, minced shallots, and garlic.

Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and honey or maple syrup. Season with sea salt, pepper, and your choice of dried herbs.

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the chopped cucumbers and tomatoes. Toss the ingredients gently to coat.

Let your salad sit for 20-30 minutes at room temperature for the best flavor.
