Ingredients

• 2 medium Cucumber

• 1 small Red onion
• 1 bunch Parsley
• 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash all produce thoroughly under running water to ensure cleanliness.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the cucumbers, then dice them into small, uniform cubes (approximately 1/4 inch in size) for even texture.

Step 3

Core the tomatoes and dice them into cubes, similar to the size of the cucumber pieces.

Step 4

Peel and finely dice the red onion, ensuring the pieces are small to avoid overpowering the salad.

Step 5

Roughly chop the parsley leaves, discarding most of the stems. Aim for about 1 cup of chopped parsley.

Step 6

Finely slice or chop the mint leaves for a touch of fresh flavor.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and mint. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.

Step 9

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the vegetables without bruising them.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice, if needed.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a standalone salad or as a side dish. This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
