Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 0.25 cup parsley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cold running water.
Dice the cucumbers and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and core, and then slice into thin strips. Add to the bowl.
Thinly slice half of the red onion and add it to the salad.
Coarsely chop the walnuts and set them aside. They will add a nice crunch to the salad.
Finely chop the cilantro and parsley, removing any large stems, and add to the vegetable mix.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together to form an emulsion.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure all ingredients are well-coated.
Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the salad to maintain their crunch.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately as a refreshing low carb side or appetizer.
