Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh parsley
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the fresh parsley and mint thoroughly under cold water. Shake off excess water and pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Trim the ends of the green onions and discard them. Slice the green onions thinly and add them to the bowl with the herbs.
Wash the tomatoes and cucumber. Dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces. Peel the cucumber if desired, and dice it into small cubes. Add both to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chopped herbs and vegetables, and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Serve immediately as a side salad or as part of a mezze platter. The salad is best enjoyed fresh.
