Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumbers
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 small Carrot
- 0.25 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut each cucumber in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, creating a 'boat' shape. Set the cucumber halves aside.
Dice the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces. Grate the carrot and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, carrot, red onion, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
Spoon the vegetable salad into the cucumber boats, dividing it evenly among the four halves.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or chilled for added freshness.
