Ingredients

• 2 medium Cucumber
• 2 large Tomatoes
• 0.5 small Red Onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.25 cup Feta Cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers and tomatoes under cool running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. For extra crunch, you may leave the skin on, but peel them if preferred.

Step 3

Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized wedges. Remove excess seeds if you wish to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. If the onion is too pungent, you can soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes to mellow the flavor.

Step 5

Finely chop the fresh parsley, discarding any large stems.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber slices, tomato wedges, onion slices, and chopped parsley.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the components are evenly coated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice or salt based on your preference.

Step 10

Optionally, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top before serving to add a creamy, tangy dimension.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light meal.
