• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all the fresh produce thoroughly.

Step 2

Dice the tomatoes into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel the cucumbers (optional) and dice them into similarly sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Rinse and dry the parsley and mint leaves. Chop the parsley finely and tear the mint leaves into small pieces. Add both to the bowl.

Step 6

Roll the lemon on the counter to release the juices, then cut it in half and squeeze its juice into a small bowl, straining out any seeds.

Step 7

In the same bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 9
