Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Garlic clove
Instructions
Start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber, then slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds for a less watery salad. Slice the cucumber halves into thin half-moons and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel and finely chop the half red onion, then add it to the vegetable mixture.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mince the garlic clove finely and whisk it into the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature and enjoy a refreshing low-carb dish.
