Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Dice the tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the other diced vegetables.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin (if using) to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and toss everything gently with a spoon or tongs to combine and coat evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving for a cooler, more refreshing salad.
